Carrying and moving stuff

Something is bothering me. When I pick up and move a Chest I always end up carrying it with the opening forward, thus whenever I put it down it lands with the "lock" and opening backwards. Say I want to place a chest next to a hedge. It would open backwards... Is there any way to reverse this? Make my guy carry it backwards so when placed it lands correct or rotate an already placed item?

To my knowledge no. And if there really isn't, it'd be a nice little thing if they could make chests be placed facing you for us aesthetic types.

I think it's hitbox related too because the way the chest has an opening state

yeah the back of the chest has a bigger hitbox than the closed chest does. If you don't tuck that away people walk into it all the time.

Doesn't APX have a tool in his client so that chests get set down the right direction? Other than that, it's just aesthetic. It doesn't really change how the game plays. It's probably something simple to fix this overall, too. My first (but probably wrong) guess would be to rotate the orientation of the model 180 deg when picked up as picking an object up always orients it to a certain facing.
