Reply to comment by randomn49er in Can tankless toilets be placed so they are not perpendicular to the wall by atmetal

I have zero experience in home maintenance. Everyone starts somewhere and the top of the list for my situation is several bathroom items. So, could you explain what "rough in" means for this specific situation? I think I understand it from doing a quick google search just now, but the principle behind my original question was to see it is possible to rotate a toilet with the drain pipe as the axis of rotation and still have it function.

Rough in is placement of plumbing before floors and walls are completed. After walls and floors are completed we return to "finish" the plumbing by connecting to the rough in plumbing.

A toilet flange has notches and slots that are used to anchor the t bolts that anchor the toilet. The flange is orientated to be square to the wall. If you want to change it to sit at an angle the plumbing under the floor will need to be moved and a new flange installed so that the notches are at an angle.

Edit: I am saying the same as waderson85 is saying. Just in different terms.
