We need better house editor tools

1. Snapping
Just look how it has been done in the Fallout 4: all building elements has perfect snapping to each other, especially structures (floors, walls, etc)
ESO has nothing even close to it.
Is it so hard to calculate edges of currently placed elements and suggest a positions for a new ones? With ability to ignore it with, i.e. pressed Shift.

2. Dimension lock
Any item has 3 dimension coordinates: X, Y and Z
How I can lock 1 or 2 of them (with keybinds) and change other left? I.e. I have a wall, that a want to change only it's height?
Yes, there is addons for it, but cmon, it's fine for ~10 elements and when you need to build something from 100+ elements? Manually typing coordinates for each would be a freaking mess.
Also, it must be as default feature.

There is an addon you might want to check out. It's called Homestead OCD and works with coordinates.

Although your issues with "snapping" won't be addressed, with the Murkmire update a bunch of new Housing tools with be available. Among those are "Undo" and "Redo", also you will be able to add items to a group and move them together, say a bookshelf including all your copies of the lusty argonian maid.

Yeah, funny.
How about a whole palace of 150+ items?

And what you might suggest to the console users?

I always think the Character should go invisible in building mode and let us put items down as if using Unity. scale certain items to size and yes Snapping objects together like floors would be appreciated. I truly miss how Landmark let you basically do whatever you wanted, the game sucked but the building part of the game was amazing imo. Even in games like Unturned its easier to place objects and create worlds than eso and that game was made by a 14-16 year old at the time of original release in 2013-2014 (re-released in 2017). Honestly Eso's housing placement's are a joke. So many times I have to adjust my character to move in the correct positions just to put down some fruit (or anything), or I cant see precisely where I am putting something.

You should try the console with no addons o_O. Trying to actually see where you're placing something is impossible sometimes. Lots or trial and error.
