Accurately Place Objects
From CryWiki
Welcome to the page that'll teach you how to place objects accurately and easily inside your level! Feel free to edit this page to add more tips or edit existing ones, as this will keep the page updated and helpful for the rest of the Wiki community!
Snapping
Accuately placing objects is essential in avoiding the tiny gaps between objects you meant to place side by side. You can use snapping or simulate the physics for a natural position. Enable Snap to Terrain/Align before transforming objects. (Enable it on the top menu bar)
Simulation
- Place the object on top of something
- Select the object
- Select Modify → Physics → Simulate Objects
Grids
The grid can be enabled by going Display (on the Toolbar menu)> Grid Settings.
From there, you can adjust various settings, however the main one you'll be using is 'Grid Lines Every:'. If it is set to 64 for example, your objects will snap only to a grid with separation between lines of 64 meters.
The default hotkey for toggling the grid on/off is G.
The grid ensures your objects are in an exact alignment.
