How do I align scenery like a row of windows on a wall, or a line of bushes, or centering a cone on a cylinder to make a rocket? Is there an alignment tool (other than the grid) that I'm not finding?

This is the part I'm (as usual) having trouble with, that in 3D (and 2D!) apps I use an alignment tool for.. . . 3. Move to the correct position . . .
Learned lots, thanks! Nicely as these techniques compensate for lack of a true alignment tool, it still requires a lot of lining up things by hand/eye -- which I'm bad at, and therefor need a standard alignment tool, but it's a game so . . . [uhh]You might find this tutorial helpful. The specific subject might not be what you're after, but the techniques are applicable to building anything.

FutureFear and Big Draco both -- didn't know that one, thanks! [up] That's resolved a solid half of my problems, and Bullethead's lovely tutorial helped muchly, but not as much as a standard alignment tool would (hinting broadly in Frontier's direction [sulk] ).You can use the Hotkey F to center lock any scenery items (windows,doors,trees,... ) without a grid on any piece with a grid (walls, roofs,...) . . .
