Better Placement

Description
Better Placement
A collection of building-related tools.
BetterPlacementTool
How to use
  1. Hold the Better Placement Tool, press R to turn it on.
  2. Hold the part you want to place, look where you want to place it
  3. Select the Rotation Axis by looking at different parts of the gizmo, Press Q (rotation key) to Rotate.
    Press R (reload key) to lock the gizmo to that spot.
  4. Press and hold (For the Click & Drag setting) or Press (For the Click Twice setting) the primary mouse button for the positioning gizmo to show up.
  5. Move the part visualization to your desired spot by moving the cursor and pressing Q to use the vertical axis
  6. Release the primary mouse button (For the Click & Drag setting) or click it again (For the Click Twice setting)
Settings
  • Hold the Better Placement Tool, press Q (rotation key)
Notes
  • If you start the placement on a body (e.g. a frame) and move it over to another body (e.g. a wheel), the part will still attach to the first body (the frame).
  • If you build the part so that it isn't attached to the original body, it will disconnect when the body is put on a lift.
  • As of now, the mod only supports placing parts on parts/blocks/terrain.
