[0.18.37] Blueprint grid cannot modify center point

Post by ElderAxe »

This is more like a missing feature of the new blueprint tools instead of a bug.

If you check the attached blueprint you'll see that the blueprint fits on a 2x2 chunk and it's 64x64.
The center (red flag) should be over the power pole but I couldn't manage to align it with it.

I even add some extra rails to the opposite side. But no luck.

I think we should be able to drag and drop the center flag so we can configure it as it should be.

Can you not move the center at all or just not where you want it to?

It can only be moved to real center by increasing the grid size to 68x72

It should align the grid center to the center of the content on the blueprint. Instead it always aligns top left position of grid with the top left content of the blueprint. Which makes it impossible to properly set the center point on the expected grid size (64x64)

I've changed the attached blueprint to display it better. This one is a perfectly symmetric diagonal rail block. Which has the same problem.

holding shift + left mouse button allows me to move the snapping box. Cannot reproduce.

Sorry for the wrong report.
