    Hi all

    I'd like to know if I can "reset" the Progrids Y axis so that it is level with the terrain. As of now, the grid is sitting "above" the terrain and I am unable to reposition it and thus all my objects alignment seem to be off.

    Thanks!

    Hi! If you toggle the little icon with a lock to "Locked" (just below the icon with an arrow), the grid will no longer follow your selection's pivot. Then, you can use the bracket keys, ie "[" or "]", to move the grid (this works for x y and z).

    Another issue that I seem to have is that my PB objects don't seem to snap to the actual Y grid. I used the brackets to move the Y grid to the terrain but when I try to snap the object to the grid, it seems to snap to the grid but it is sitting slight above the grid.

    Here are some screenshots.

    Sorry about the screenshots. I can't seem to get them to show up
    Maybe this will work

    Here the object is snapped to the grid

    And here I can still move the object in the Y axis so that it "sits" on the terrain.

    How can I get the object to snap properly so that it sits on the grid, which I assume I have set to be flush with the terrain using the bracket keys.

    Thanks!
