Anal about my little town... (placing objects)

Post by fldash »

Whenever you build items, they seem to snap to a grid. I like this... a lot. However, if you pick them up (say baskets) and try to replace them, they are no longer bound to the grid and you can place them anywhere... Can we fix this or is it needed for some reason?

Actually, you can choose to not snap objects to the grid while building by holding down Shift. I have indeed thought about doing the same while carrying things.

You have to! How else can we live perfectly orthogonal?

Not...snap...to...grid? Madness! But yes, I second the suggestion to make lifted and dropped objects be ABLE to snap to the grid.

Haha! Yes, I perfectly well agree, but I thought I would cater to people like Jorb, who care not a bit about such things and might wish to place stuff according to what their "creative genius" dictates (according to the whims of the inner chaos of their unstructured minds, in other words, yes). ;)

But yes, grid snapping when dropping is long overdue indeed.

BTW, It's actually the opposite. When building, it defaults to grid, but if you hold shift its free-form place.

That appears to be the same as what loftar originally said.
