Right now the automatic animation change only happens for changing which axis the item is placed on. Such as a torch on the ground is straight up and down while a torch on a wall would be at a 45 angle.
I may eventually change this to have items be able to provide an alpha mask image with the item and then have that represent the area the item takes up. That would enable objects to be placed inside of each other – as long as their alpha masks do not overlap. It is a nice to have so it will likely be happening much later in development.

Same idea for chests/crates. Or is that not really the correct use of the animations?
