Hard time aligning objects with Homestead editor?

Is anyone also having a hard time aligning and centering objects and items in your house?
It's like I'm using my character view/moves to move objects, instead of using a directional tool.
For example; it's very difficult to move an object a little, just a little to left/right/up/down (even using the cursor tool), or when you have to place an object up high on a wall, together with other dificulties I found when trying to place objects centered or aligned to something.
Is there an easy way I am missing?
Thank you.

✭It just needs a focused eye for details, a lot of practicing and huge amount of patience.
I personally like the way it was made and like to do all this positioning for best effect.
Btw I started with building a 2-nd floor from stone blocks in my basic house, a lot of positioning was there and I'm still unsatisfied

✭I don't find it too bad but it isn't perfect. On the plus side they did give us total freedom of placement vs say a locking system. Would have been nice though if they had included long/lat numbers or something to help with alignment.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭We have one (at least one) person in our guild that suffers from OCD and listening to him in discord trying to perfectly center a lamp was the most entertained I've been while playing this game this whole past week.and then the parrot said, "must be the water mines green too."1 -

✭Just a tip, go into the Control menu and set a key for toggle walk/run. Then make sure you are walking before you try to place an object. Whilst still not perfect, it allows for finer control of forward/back and side to side movements.1 -

✭There is an option at the bottom of the screen that says something like "Turn Off link to Ground", or something like that. I find controlling an object FAR easier when I turn that setting to "Off". Also, my character is set to always auto-run which makes it ten times harder to make small correction movements. I force my character to Walk when in housing editor so I can make minute changes.
I agree though, lots of trial and error. I've moved some objects 12-15 times before getting an acceptible placement.1
