I found the easiest way to lay the baseplates was from the underside! Yes
you can add pieces 'top down' if you want - the floor sinks when you add
something from the bottom.
I think the 'clicking' is sometimes fantastic, and sometimes just plain,
irritating, stupid!
I have managed to insert parts in 'holes' in the model, and at the same time
I'm having extraordinary problems putting 6x6 plates on top of a flat roof.
It looks to me like the bounding boxes are not completely correct for all
parts, larger parts usually give larger problem...
The 'wait a second' is also important, but sometimes nothing seems to work
:-(
I *think* there are more problems when you have many different height 'free'
top studs available, but I'm not sure...
Also, around the size 250 parts, some operations are quite time consuming
(on AMD 1700+), epecially trying to place larger parts.
I also discovered that I could rotate the complete model on the floor by
using the 'hinge' tool. Click somewhere on the model where there is
absolutely no real hinge (retry until you get all the parts in the model
selected), now right click rotates all as one block (sometimes).
