It would be great if there was a tool where you could highlight/select your entire floorplan or room and rotate the entire thing.  I have 2 separate drawings of warehouses that are next to each other in real life and I want to put them together into 1 floorplan.  However one of the drawings will need to be rotated 90 degrees in order to bring together.

At the moment when I highlight/select the entire plan and click to rotate only the objects within the walls move.

Very frustrating unfortunately.

Hi Neale thanks for posting in the Lucidchart Community. This functionality is not currently supported in Lucidchart. However we're always looking for ways to improve Lucidchart and your feedback is the best way for us to do that. Would you mind upvoting this idea? Top ideas are passed on to the product development team for their consideration.

Thanks for your request and I apologize for any inconvenience this causes you.

For more information on how floor plans work in Lucidchart I would recommend taking a look at the Create Floorplans to Scale article in our Help Center.

It's been a year since this was requested. Kind of lame that such a basic function in Visio is impossible in lucid.

I just built a very complex floor plan in Lucidchart and then realized it needs to be rotated 90 degrees against the other objects in the drawing.   However Lucidchart does not allow this.  I searched google and came across this post.  I agree with the previous poster - this is pretty basic functionality.  I won't do any more complicated floor plans in Lucidchart until this feature is added.

I too have built a complex floor plan in Lucidchart and need to rotate it 90 degrees. I contacted support via the form to inquire about alternate workflows and there is indeed no way to rotate all elements of a floor plan 90 degrees; this must be done with each individual floor plan element and I find the whole thing infuriating since this has clearly been an active Community thread for 2+ years. We can rotate other objects so floor plan objects must have had this functionality removed (!?) in their programming for reasons I cannot fathom. Please fix this Lucid! I want to love you but I can't. Not like this.

How lame. Can’t group and rotate anything. This is basic functionality that’s been requested for years now.
