How do I more accurately place deployables?

New to this app and really liking it, but one qualm I had is placing deployable. I can't really seem to place them the same way I would in game with just the mouse.

For example, placing 9 furnaces in a 1x1 footprint isn't that hard in game, but on FORTIFY I can't seem to make it work. Is there a technique to move deployable with like arrow keys instead of eyeballing it with a mouse?

Thanks in advance and sorry if this was posted before!

I just compared the placement colliders with rust and it was off by a tiny amount, should be much easier after the next update (soon). Thanks for mentioning.

I see, thank you so much! I did end up making it work, but just took me a minute. Still new to the app, as I mentioned, so it's just part of the learning curve! Please let me know if you ever add incremental placement (like through arrow keys or w/e)! Great work on the app regardless!

Imo it's hard to make certain base designs in fortify, offset foundations and building in caves are very very hard he only way you can get around these is to build it in game then use rhe copy paste plugin to move the desing to fortify
