[FONT=Comic Sans MS]Welcome to the forums Luciano!

The with tracing is that if you are facing straight ahead and the trace hits something far away, that is not related to what you are currently doing, you could get unexpected rotations.

It seems like the best combo is:

1. rotate to match surface normal via trace, so you could instantly align a picture with an angled wall surface

2. arbitrary rotation every 5 degrees if you dont use modifier key to do the traced version above. In way, if your picture actor is rotated strangely relative to its own root, you would get the right surface normal angle and then press the arbitrary rotate key till like 90 or 45 or whatever is needed to get actual flush alignment with the wall.

With these two combinations I think any other situation can be dealt with, as you mention, relative to camera facing will always be a bit wonky without grid snap, but tracing gives that nice relative positioning that we want that does not care what the rotation of the wall surface or other objet is.

I will process at my nearest convenience for the Vertex Snap Editor Plugin.

Seeems awesome to me, can’t wait for your nearest convenience event!
Thanks!!!
