    Here's the instructions for Consoles:

    Toggle between grid / half grid / free object placing:

    This will allow you to place objects outside the grid.

    Xbox: Press the left trigger (LT)

    PlayStation: Press L2

    I haven't played on PC for a long time but I think you hold the alt key.

I'm trying to get a pillar to click to the mid grid line and clicking LT while doing so. All it does it undo what I did previously. I've tried looking at tuts and asking Google but to no avail. What should I do?

    @im_svizzy columns/pillars work differently to other items. On console (I'm on Xbox Series X) they snap to full grid spaces. Just like walls go to full grid and not half grid spaces. Even with free placement on they will only snap to a full grid space unfortunately. So since LT is also the Undo function it will just Undo instead.
