Grid disappearing while building?

[WhiteRabbitY2K]

I've had the grid disappear multiple times now while building. It tends to appear after I place the first wall section or if I use 'z' to turn the wall. It's not 100%. The area the grid should appear turns completely yellow. Anyone else have this problem?

If you exit the group and try to start editing again, you cannot get the pieces to align

It isn't a bug - construction parts align either side of a grid line, one wall thickness apart usual alignment would be towards the inside of the grid line (your right hand side alignment) as this makes them flush to facility walls like shops etc:

I might be wrong about this but doesn't the grid turn yellow at times when it is under the terrain and blue when above? Same with Terrain Stamp?

That doesn't explain why items side by side built on the same grid, built on the same group of objects won't align

After you exit the group are you adding it back to the same group by hovering over the original pieces?

The solid grid almost looks like a driver issue. Are your GPU drivers updated?

When I go back, if I select the original group by either hover, or by simply clicking it and then seperatly click 'add to group' or whatever, the same glitch will occur. I will check my GPU and report back, however, since when the grid goes solid like that, I can move the pieces within the grid without any 'snapping', I don't think that is the issue.

We have pretty similar specs and I tried to move those same pieces around in sandbox mode. I couldn’t get the solid grid to appear though.

Try placing two normal wall pieces with the grid size at 4m. Then, change the grid size to 2m. Place another wall piece. The solid grid should appear now.

Also I updated everything I can update.

With the same wooden walls? I did change the grid size as I saw in your screen shot it went from 4 to 2m

I've tried every wall type in the construction menu that uses the grid automatically.

I am having an issue where the Grid size option/slider has disappeared from the window. This happen while placing a building and it will not come back on.
