hello, i have this really annoying problem with the editor.
i was building stuff for a map, and after opening the map to go on working on it, when i touched the cubes or walls of my map, to move them around. they slip out of the grid and set themselves between the grid lines. even when i go in grid1 to set it right, it doesnt work because it won't snap to any gridlines, it stays between them.

this is really annoying
is there a way to solve this?

thank you!

Likely due to the dimensions you made the Brush. Try to use dimensions of the power of 2 always. If you can't for some reason, you'll need to just be very careful and likely need to tweak your alignments later.

assuming you use windows, keep calculator minimized, and train you hand to do [dimension] / 16, or whatever your grid size is. Try to aim for a whole # answer. Still, strange, none the less. What you may need to do is to using vertex editor, ctrl+select all vertices and right click on them to align with grid...
