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.

I hate you all slightly less than a few minutes ago.

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. --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 [this trick] when I need to clone a certain arrangement of brush / prop a bunch of times. --- Campaignjunkie 10:25, 15 Jul 2005 (PDT)
