How Snap Mode: Furntiure work?

[辰星]

I placed two storage shelves in this mode, but they are not connected. I still have to fine-tune their positions manually. Is there a video tutorial? Or is this mode only available for specific products?

Snap Mode: Furniture only works, when you have a furniture in your hand what you want to place somewhere and it only works, when you look at another furniture. The snap mode will try to place the new furniture on the side or back of the other furniture. So, look at the side of your furniture and you will see, it snaps on.

Hi, I tried it a few more times, and the furniture mode can indeed put the product shelves together as I expected, but what bothers me now is that it is a bit difficult to trigger, and I don't know where to aim the crosshair, you know ?

Haha, I am also not a native english speaker, but I have to explain how this snap mode works.

Also with Google-Translator:
The crosshair must be on the side of the store shelf and you must be a few steps away.
Don't forget to be in the correct snap mode (there are 3 different ones).
Also remember that you turn the store shelf to the correct position (with the left mouse button).
You have to place the very first store shelf by hand.

I will add, the newest update mentioned they may add edge snapping or at least back snapping. So with luck that will help things align without using furniture snapping in the future.

But yes, get first one aligned best you can, then use furniture snapping to align to whatever edge you look at and they will line up nicely.
