How to rotate a 'grid of shapes' without losing alignement

[AleksanderStysiak]

HI
I split my shape along xz resulting in a grid of shapes - lets say footprints (yellow) and streets (green). I wish to be able to rotate the grid around its center, while keeping the alignment of the streets, i.e. so I keep the intersections like in Fig1. 
If I use the rotateScope, I can rotate everything but shapes start moving relative to each other (Fig2). 

Anyone can maybe help me solve this?

Thanks in advance!

You have to align the scope to the geometry, e.g. alignScopeToGeometry(yUp, any, longest).

Thanks for the response L R, I appreciate you taking the time. 

I am not sure where to place the alignScope...  in my code to get the desired result.

I generated this with these few lines: 

@Group("Parcel_settings") @Order(20) @Range(0,360)
attr Rotation = 90

@Group("Parcel_settings") @Order(30) @Range(10,100)
attr X_Size = 25
@Group("Parcel_settings") @Order(40) @Range(10,100)
attr Z_Size = 25
@Group("Parcel_settings") @Order(50) @Range(0,10)
attr StreetWidth= 4

Parcel-->
   alignScopeToAxes(y)
   rotateScope(0,Rotation,0)
   split(x) {

               { ~X_Size: split(z) {{ ~Z_Size: Footprint | StreetWidth: Street }* | ~Z_Size: Footprint } | StreetWidth: Street }*
               | ~X_Size: split(z) {{ ~Z_Size: Footprint | StreetWidth: Street }* | ~Z_Size: Footprint 

               }

This rotates the entire thing like shown above, but the alignment of the streets is distorted. 

If I wasn't clear before - I wish to kind of rotate the resulting grid, and preserve the right angle between streets. Not just the parcel scope. So it look like this:

hey 

do you guys maybe have any advice on how to achieve this?

You can use split() with the noAdjust option to keep the parent scope.

Lot -->
     rotateScope(0, angle, 0)
     split(x, noAdjust) { ~w: split(z) { ~w: A. }* }*‍‍‍
