Can't place on existing electrical infrastructure
Hi,

We have a house with a generator on the roof. I first placed the generator, then the cables. Now I've tried to build the diagonal solar panel (not the flower-like one) on the roof next to the generator. It shows up in green and snaps to the cables, when when I click, the transparent bluepring just disappears without building the solar panel and its back in my inventory.

There is nothing in its way, the area is clean.
Bight this be because the cable are inside the roof tiles? When you build the generator and then attach the cables they're like "inside" the roof tiles. Might the solar panel collide with them?

Thanks for help :-)

It is extremely difficult to get new items to snap to existing ones (it has to do with where the pivot point of the mesh was when made) without knowing where the pivot point for the electrical generator mesh was I have to guess where it is and make mine as close as possible to it, thjis is what is happening, I am very close to the pivot point but not exact, that is why it is turning green but not being placed. I will look again and see if I can sort this out.

I have tried and better tried to get this to marry up with existing systems and I cannot get it to work sorry but you will need to redo the electrical system to use this mod.
