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.

    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."

    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.

    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.
