[Request] Please display the size of housing object before crafting or buying.

Some of housing object size is too much huge than I thought. Especially, floor and wall parts.
I need character figure at the preview window as size reference. I don't want to wasting my precious
housing crafting material anymore, because of the unsuitable size of building parts.

And more...

I want "snapping" option for the housing structure object like the wall and floor.

I think ZOS added the light and dark floor tiles to give us an idea of the size. I have mentioned it several times, but there is no scale for the tiles so we have no idea how large or small the item is.

I bought that large Redguard structural item from the Luxury Vendor a few weeks ago and found it is way too large for what I had planned to do. Now it sits in the bank.

We need something for scale.

i'd love some sort of trial ability, like a 'ghost' item of what you want, so you can place it wherever to see how it may work.

Good idea!

Yes. And full rotation through all the axes so we can see the top and bottom of objects (still smarting about buying a crown store rock that doesn't have faces in all directions).

Yes, please! For many items, it's really hard to tell how big is. I often want something that will fit in a certain space, I guess, sometimes I'm right sometimes not.

Well the game Anno 1800 that is big on building settelments has some sort of "building planer" feature to plan ahead your settelments. You can place all your buildings ahead of time and once you have the materials to actually build them, you can klick the "build now" button.

Something simular might be cool to have. Imagine placing everything you want to place ahead of time and once you have the furniture, you get a highlight where you planned to place it. All you do is pressing a buttom and watch, as the dreamhouse you planned, comes together

That way you might be able to actually plan everything out bevore crafting, farming or buying the furniture and know that everything fits

It's good idea too. I want preview menu like that.
