Barriers Snap Alongside Paths Please

[Byzanoid]

It's nice to have the option to snap paths to barriers, but what about snapping barriers to paths? It's not that hard to do manually - but still, it feels like a sorely missing feature.
I tend to draw paths before building barriers.

100% agreed.

I think its not really possible due to how barriers are drawn. The or straight or curved at a specific angle.unless the paths dead straight i doubt it would ge right

You can move the barrier posts manually closer to the path. It just a workaround, but at least something.

Why do people not read the post

Yes this would make me very happy, or give them a grid like the paths

Isnt angle snap 90 degrees and not changing length basicly grid?

It's hard to get the barrier initially lined up with the path- if you're even off by a degree or so, your barrier is going to intersect you path at some point or move too far away from it. Especially on big enclosures.

The entire system so far encourages asymmetry - which is great and encourages creativity, but is currently robbing the player of the choice to build more rigidly if we want. Really just being able to align fences Somehow would be great.
I suppose we could build our own barriers out of grid pieces and such.

Yes I do figure it's technologically difficult to do with matching curve angles. I'm sure there's a way, though. The data is all there in the paths, it just needs to be copied to the fence.
Perhaps the feature was just not done in time for release, and it will come later - but lets just let them know it IS wanted!
