replace your SnapToGrid function with this

``local function SnapToGrid(pos, blockSize, rotationY)
local angle = (math.floor((rotationY % 360) / 90)) % 4
local gridX, gridZ = blockSize.X, blockSize.Z

-- Swap X and Z grid when rotated 90 or 270 degrees
if angle == 1 or angle == 3 then
    gridX, gridZ = blockSize.Z, blockSize.X
end

return Vector3.new(
    math.floor(pos.X / gridX + 0.5) * gridX,
    math.floor(pos.Y / blockSize.Y + 0.5) * blockSize.Y,
    math.floor(pos.Z / gridZ + 0.5) * gridZ
)

end``

#

and also update ur render

RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function() if mouse.Hit then local snapped = SnapToGrid(mouse.Hit.Position, part.Size, orientation.Y) part.CFrame = CFrame.new(snapped + Vector3.new(0, part.Size.Y / 2, 0)) part.Orientation = orientation end end)

ah mb im slow

sterile bloom
#

update your render step like this

mystic thicket
#

i updated both and its still the same 😿

yeah its supposed to be a ghost block or whatever ud call it

sterile bloom
#

is it in ServerPlayerScripts?
