Vertical Mode

By default, the entity's altitude above the terrain is maintained while dragging it, and it cannot be moved underground.Toggle Vertical Mode to make it follow the sea surface instead, allowing it to be moved underground as well.

Surface Snapping

When an entity gets near any surface while its altitude is being changed, it will be snapped to it. This is useful for quick positioning on building floors or terraces. You can Toggle Surface Snap to disable this behavior when necessary.
