OK, sorry if this has been posted before, I could not find one anywhere.

I suggest the following improvements to help with the placement of items within your house/GH...

1. Fine adjustment.

2. Pause (basically, u place an item but before it is finalised you get the opportunity to move around that object to make sure it is in the right place from all angles).

3. Movement of many items at once. Example is a book case, I spent a good couple of hours placing all my books on two book cases just to find out I wanted them on the other side of the room. An option to pick up the whole bookcase AND all the books and move the whole lot in one go would make this MUCH easier.

4. Size percentage. If you want to place 2 identical pieces next to each other but have resized them it takes alot of effort to place one over the other and mess about with the size until it fits. If you could just right click it and see it is at 86% of its original size and then right click new one and set that to 86% then it would make this alot easier too.

Well, what do people think?

1. Fine adjustment, do you mean further than the one that is in place already? I think:

CTRL-mousewheel will raise and lower the vertical position.
ALT-mousewheel will fine adjust the position it faces.
SHIFT-mousewheel will adjust the size.

2. I like this idea. I think it should require a double click to place an item, single click to place a ghost of the item.

3. Hard to implement, but yes, it'd be nice to click and hold (making a square) and drag all the items as one...just like you do with shortcuts/files on your Windows desktop.

4. One of the best ideas I've ever heard pertaining to housing. I've been using the count-click method when trying to place two identical pillars next to each other. (I count the mouse wheel clicks)
Size based on a slider and numeric input would be very cool, they already do it with chat text in the game.

1. I had no idea it was already implemented, TYVM good to know

2. Great addition to my idea :D

3. Not too hard to implement tbh, just a simple line or two of code to have an extra option upon right click to move item and all attached items also. OFC this could also provide hassle with pictures and rugs ect so ye, could be a pain.

4. TY for the advice on the count click method, I did that tonight :D
