Yeah it’s nice !
I’d have one observation, though :

With the default preview, I can see when it goes under/behind something ;
(for example, to place the poster correctly on the wall, I know I need to make the preview slightly disappear behind it.) Well, [for me] that new preview seems to never disappear, so it’s harder to pinpoint how much I need to lower/move it.

Hope you see what I mean !
Still very nice nonetheless ! Thanks.

The preview can be a bit confusing at times because the gizmos are drawn over everything else in the game so they ignore the geometry.

This can be somewhat alleviated by drawing additional lines which expand or contract depending on the distance to the surface but it also increases the visual complexity of the gizmo making it look not so great anymore.

I made an alternative version which shows you more so you can replace the content of the script and see if you like that more: Pastebin.com

Thanks for your answer !
( I don’t know why but Moddb doesn’t tell me anymore…
Their notification setup never been great, but now it’s even worse… )

Anyway ; Yes it’s worth a try, I’ll do, thanks much !

Edit : Ah yes it’s very nice ! I see what you mean, it can quickly feel convoluted and less clean than the other preview ^^ But it’s explanatory ! Works nice and is practical, I really like it, thanks much !
