    There are times I want to use ProGrids to move something along an axis a certain amount. For example, lengthening a ProBuilder object along an axis. (i.e., making a room taller). So, let's say I'm moving the ceiling up or down, I'd like the verts to only snap to y-axis intervals, and not reposition the verts on x or z. Currently, if I ever have to fine-tune some aspect of an object, such that its verts aren't on the snap grid (maybe the edge needs to be just a tiny bit further in one direction), I can't really use ProGrids with that object anymore without messing up all of the vertices.

    Hi! Sure, you can do this already in a few ways:

    1) Open "Edit > Preferences", and choose the "ProGrids" tab. Then, next to "Snap Method", choose "Snap on Selected Axis Only".

    2) Hold "S" while snapping, this will toggle to the opposite of whatever you chose in the above dropdown :)

    Hope that helps!
