Editor: Can I easily move collision shapes up to each other?

SteveSmith

I'm trying to build a level to my game with map sections. Is there a feature in the editor that will allow me to move the 3D models (which have collision shapes) up to each other, but no further, so it's easier to position them right next to each other? At the moment I have to move them to where I think they touch, then zoom in a bit and tweak their position a bit more, and so on.

Are you asking about a snapping feature for translation operations? There is a snapping option but that is simple incremental snapping not vertex snapping afaik.

If you search the internet you can find some vertex snapping plugins though.

Thanks. No, it's not snapping exactly, but just automatically moving the nodes right up to each (e.g. map sections in a level) without having to do it manually. It would also be useful when placing scenery, so it sits exactly on the floor.

You might want to explore gridmaps perhaps for map sections and such.

For those looking for this, I discovered that if you drag your scenery scene onto the "parent" scene, it will place it where the mouse is, but up to existing collision shapes.
