There's been a series of small updates. Your report is appreciated!

@Ampersand I just loaded the mission in Eden after reading your reply. I touched nothing, snapping is now working again on the assets I mentioned before. Not sure what happened. I'll let you know if it breaks again.

Hi. There was a change that fixed drag-and-drop still triggering a snap when keybind setting was enabled. Check if that setting is enabled. If so, you can set the keybind and use that, or disable the setting for drag and drop.

Hello, I'm having an issue with the mod, it was working up until about a week and a bit ago, now assets from TIOW that used to snap together no longer are. I've even gone into a new scenario in Altis and have attempted to snap vanilla assets together and nothing is happening, I've made sure that snapping is turned on, it's loaded in Eden but it just refuses to do anything.

Reverted fix for ACE Razorwire Barrier which was causing mission dependency. This object will not snap on drop, but will still work with the keybind.

Show me the Required Addons screen from your mission.
