Idea: Special Ground Level Piece for Blueprints

Ok. So how much time do we all spend while placing blueprints trying to get the everything properly at ground level? That's no fun!

Here's a simple idea... Have a "special" piece in the game that you can add to a blueprint that you sink just below ground level and then when that piece is included in the blueprint, the game knows how to "snap" the blueprint to ground level automatically when placing the blueprint later? No more having to have the blueprint creator make "ground level" signs and having to play with the shift key while placing the blueprints.

Another way, would be to just have an on-screen indicator that could be part of the blueprint creation dialog that would let you pick ground level at that time. Either way would save a lot of time and frustration in the game... especially for new players.
 
You can also use global vertical snapping that makes it even easier. But for some reason they choose to put this option in the options menu instead of a button in the hud or a simple shortcut.
