Building Alignment

    Hi everyone,

    I have run into a bit of trouble with aligning building materials properly.

    Referring to the images here, I'm confused as to how I can't seem to line up the horizontal beam on the left, with the vertical beam in the centre. It's just so slightly off that if I move it at all, it only gets worse.

    I was able to line up the beam on the right perfectly and did all this work using the 'snap' mode and manual positioning.

    In the image with grid mode 'on', you can see that the beam is a tiny bit off the grid line. How is this possible?

    Could I have perhaps placed my foundations or something else in the chain without grid mode enabled and messed it all up?

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Turn off the grid and work with the docking mode. Activate it with the enter or return key.


    Then use ctrl to hold the object in place and use ctrl +arrow keys to turn and move it into place.


    Easier it is if you just place the beam with that gap and use a shorter beam to fill that gap
