Snap to Grid

In old Propper there was an option to snap resulting prop to grid for ease of placement. In Propper++ this setting is mysteriously absent. Does anyone know how to either turn it on by default or maybe hack it in somehow idk

The snap-to-grid in Propper was a workaround for how regular VMFs don't store vertex data, so there was some precision loss that could result in misaligned vertices. This isn't a problem for Propper++, which uses Hammer++'s vertex info directly; as long as you have snap to grid enabled in H++ when creating the brushwork, it will be properly snapped when P++ is used (make sure the origin KV is also on-grid).
That said, it'd be useful if you could snap coordinates to the current grid in vertex edit mode; I'll ask if that's possible without doing manually.
