Accurate Placement

While I am only a newbie (), I have come up against the same barrier I believe we all face as builders - the 1cm limit. By this I do, of course, mean the precision with which we can place objects and their size. There are tricks that can be used to bypass this limit by a certain degree, but the actual usefulness of objects that have been changed to bypass the limit is very small. What I would like to see in a future update (and hopefully many other also) is a new, possibly optional, method of placement (eg "expert" mode) that allows the user to build objects easily on the millimeter scale and maybe even smaller.

Well, there are ways to get smaller prims, down to as low as a 0.5cm cube and other shapes. You can position down to the millimeter, although I've noticed sometimes things still can't be aligned perfectly. Still, I was able to create a pretty nice pair of glasses for myself using tiny prims. Search the forums for "tiny prims" or similar to find a few useful posts on the subject of getting prims smaller than a 1cm cube.

Note that when things get really tiny, it starts to matter less whether they're absolutely perfectly lined up. People just don't look that closely at things. I realize now that spending 5 horus on my glasses as my first build was not necessarily a wise use of my time.
