| HOW ARE YOU MEANT TO ALIGN UP PROP_STATICS IN HALF-LIFE 2? IT'S IMPOSSIBLE. THESE FREAKING RAILINGS AND FENCES AREN'T A SET UNIT SIZE, THEY'RE ALL TWO AND A HALL UNITS THICK AND I'M TRYING TO LINE UP 5 IN A ROW. IT DOESN'T WORK. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE. JESUS GOD I'M MELTING. I HATE YOU. I HATE YOU ALL.

| Nope, wait. Got it working. I was aligning two, and then copying and pasting those two, and trying to align ''those'' with the first two. And that wasn't working. Turns out they move different when you move two at once, but if I just selected one at a time I could allign ''that'' with where the others were. But still, there's got to be an easier way to do this than having to keep stretching it - even though it doesn't really stretch - just to get it into the right place.

| :Annoyingly, grid snapping depends on where you grab hold of the bounding box. Grab a prop in the top right and try to align it with something you grabbed in the bottom left, and the chances are you won't be able to do it. --[[user:TomEdwards|TomEdwards]] 09:37, 15 Jul 2005 (PDT)

| :: There's an easier way to go about it - don't bother aligning it! If it's within a few units, that's usually good enough. But occasionally I make use of [[http://blog.johnsto.co.uk/?action=view&id=93 this trick]] when I need to clone a certain arrangement of brush / prop a bunch of times. --[[User:Campaignjunkie|- Campaignjunkie]] 10:25, 15 Jul 2005 (PDT)

| ::: I was aware that grid snapping depends on where you grab ahold of the bounding box - I remember that from the HL1 days. But it really was being effected by the fact I was trying to align two at once. No matter, it's done now. And CJ, thanks for the link, I'd seen it before, but had forgotten about it. Regardless, the "don't bother aligning it!" advice only works in certain scenarios. When you're doing chainlink fences, that's fine. But what if you're doing railings like those around the stairwells in Nova Prospekt? If you need more than one and want them to be seamless, then you need to be *exact* with your positioning. That's pretty difficult. But I've done that too.

| ::: Still, this is a nice place to scream my frustrations. Especially after not being able to find anything that gave me advice on how to do it on the site. Someone should create a "Requested Articles" page and list the things that people should add to the Wiki. I'd do it, but I can't think of any articles to request... --[[User:Graham|Graham]] 13:05, 15 Jul 2005 (PDT)
