Spawning Surface Buildings from Blueprint at Ground Level

[Blodgemeister]

Apologies if this has been asked. When trying to spawn a building from a Blueprint, it just appears in mid-air. This is fine for vehicles but, I have a landing-pad I built on one Ring Habitat. I've now traveled to another Habitat and it would be helpful if I could place a copy of the pad at ground-level on the new Habitat.

I've tried placing the Starter Block I spawn the Building from on the ground but it still appears about 20 meters in the air.
It's fixed in place and cannot be moved with the Magnet tool.

Is there a way to do this?

if you place a starter block on the landing pad and then hit "move down" a few times that should do it

btw the move down is in the starter block menu if you didn't know

You could also try this with a ship that has a large maglock on it. So you can lock it to the ship, fly it in position and unlock it when it's good.
Doesn't need to be a fancy ship - a basic flyer with a maglock should do the trick.

That's not a bad idea. I am yet to experiment with Maglocks, but will give that a go when I do. Thanks :-)
