I would suggest having a 'drop plane' which you place first - by clicking on
an existing part or by just placing it, possibly adjusting its position and
angle by numbers. Then all the parts you place are put on the drop plane,
with or without snapping to the grid on the drop plane, but always snapping
to the plane.
Detecting the direction of a surface (or stud) that is clicked will make it
easy to change the direction of the plane in accordance with existing
geometry, free placement/angle is needed to start the build, or add
something at an angle.
Shortcut keays for moving the drop plane up/down (in the direction of the
plane) a predetermined number of LDU will make it easy to build
upwards/downwards.
A fully free mode is probably also needed for some parts, but most building
should be possible to do by dropping on a movable/turnable plane.
The visible size of the drop plane should be easy to change, also its center
point, although for placement, it should be considered infinite.
Those are my ideas for a next generation of BlockCAD, which will probably
never even get started...
