    Hi i'am not sure if this has come up before but i notice that in last build 49900 we had over lapping placements now in build 50000 we have over the top spacing:

    What if we had a Grid overlay, both Placement and Ground and had them snap together also making rotation snap too, wouldn't that sort the issue and clean up Bases, at the same time..

    So there are issues with doing a grid on a sphere (see any sphere projection thread, same issue), but a snap to nearby alignment has been suggested as being implemented in the future.

    Polygon use triangles which can also make spheres so wouldn't a triangle grid work then

    That's actually a really good idea.
