    Yeah, a lot of people do that and then things like what you ran into happen.  But imo, you should start a build using the room tool.  That gives you a flat foundation to start with and if you want elevation changes, like a sunken area or a raised area, use a platform for just the area you want at a different height.  

    You'll get the hang of it though.  It just takes time and a lot of patience to learn the quirks of the build system and the only way to do that is to just do it.  The order in which you do things makes a difference too.  It's hard to explain since it's a pretty complicated process but I have found ways to get what I want in the end most of the time.  You just have to keep working at it.

    Hope this helps.

@MagpieMorriganHave you tried bb.moveobjects on? Just curious if that lets it place.

But yeah, that should not be happening.

Also if you go out to manage worlds and come back again does that help?

The game can definitely glitch out over the oddest things sometimes.

@MagpieMorrigan 

Does it happen for other objects besides counters?

And did you ever have a platform on or adjacent to that tile?  That looks like what happens when trying to place some objects against a platform or what happens after a platform gets deleted.  They leave something behind that blocks the tiles where they were.

Hope this helps.

      Yeah, missed that until I reread it just now.

      Definitely looks like it might be a platform issue.  Best guess though.  It could be something else we can't see in the pic.

        Sorry for the delay... work beckoned.

        How would I fix such an issue?

        Obviously something is there, but the kitchen is usually the first thing I decorate. I had -just- started with the stove, when I noticed it wouldn't work. I then tested the fridge, then the counter. The counter became my go-to as I tried things out, but yeah, none of the furniture items work on THAT WALL. The foundation is raised, but the rest of the house was a simple slab and wall put-together. Not sure what I would have messed up.

        I will try deleting the wall and re-placing it with a new one, and see if it works. If it doesn't, I will try that code.

        It's not platforms. The wall is adjacent to a laundry room, which is opened to the hall leading into the kitchen. It's all the same level. If the two options do not work, I will submit more pics.

        Thanks!
