Better Placement

Description
Better placement of 3D items in world

Inspired by the House Decoration Tool from Ultima Online that allowed a lot of flexibility in decorating houses.

Lets you adjust the Z level of 3D models while in placement mode, allowing finer control over where on screen items visually are.
It functions much like the Rotate key but allows moving an item up or down in a fine-grained manner so you can adjust exactly where on the bookshelf your items sit.

-- Key binds / Controls --

Adds two new configurable keybinds for Adjust Height and Reset Height. You'll also see them on the lower-right prompt while placing items in case you forgot. Keybinds can be changed in rhe usual Keybinds Options menu.

Default for Adjust Height Up: 'Z'
Default for Adjust Height Down: 'Shift-Z'
Default for Reset Height Adjustment: 'X'

Currently there's no Joypad/Controller specific support, looking into it though.

-- Known Issues --

- Some actions like installing/removing furniture cause placed items to be re-positioned on the tile, you can just pick them up and move them around again however.
- It's possible to put items visually on a different tile from the tile they're actually on. The item won't be on the tile that it's visually sitting on so don't go too far up/down with the adjustment, it's still accessible from the tile it was originally placed on however.

-- Compatibility --

I don't think any other mod has seriously touched the Place3DItemCursor so it /should/ be compatible with most mods unless they also change 3D placement.

It should work in multiplayer but I haven't had the opportunity to test it, please comment with information if you find a bug or issue!

Fine to add or remove mid-save, items should stay where they were last placed until something disturbs them.

Is controller support coming?

i might have found the first hard conflict to this mod (but only applies to guns, from what i can tell with testing) - "hang on walls" mod uses numpad 1,2,3 to move between specific z positions to hang some items on the walls

imo this mod is a better option than hang on walls, since there are fewer restrictions and finer movement

Almost perfect mod

The mod works well, but has one massive problem:
If you place an item with the height changed, and then do any other action, when you try to either place or pick up anything near that item, it's height resets completely.

Example: you use the height modification to stack 10 duffel bags all on top of eachother. Then, you eat. When you come back, you place another duffel bag on top of the pile - the entire pile's height is reset, and all the duffel bags are now on the floor, clipping through one another
