Feedback on expectation
Some Feedback on the "Snap-to-Grid." It doesnt function like I would expect based on the name. I think the expectation would be for it to anchor to the grid. Rather its more of a even distribution tool/fixed movement tool.
This isnt a problem for me but I think it might not function the way most would expect based on other software.
This might be resolved with the room tool because I feel like room creation is where you really need it to center on the grid. But not sure what the functionality on that looks like.

We changed it to 9-point snapping now.

We will be changing snap to grid snap to 9 points in a grid (corners, center of a line, and center of the tile)

Any other type of snapping could be tricky.
If we want to snap it fix to the grid we need to define a single point in the asset that need to be in the center of the grid (or at the cross, doesn't matter) We could always use the center, but for curves and other non-symmetrical pieces, the center will not look right.
Another asked approach is that assets snap to each other. This would require to know the edge where the stamp ends and calculate the distance between another one so they are touching. This will take some performance in the worst case.
Additionally, our assets are in a "rough" style, so a straight line is not really straight to look more natural, if we were to touch assets, they would be many gaps that need to be fixed manually.

Philipp: That all makes sense. From what I saw of Mati's demo it seems the room tool will resolve the alignment issues with wall placement?

Bearworks: Yes indeed it will ;)
