Shop Face Integration

When working with shop awnings and facades, I noticed that pieces from the same set do not integrate all that well. For instance, with the classic set, if I put a shop facade up I cannot add an awning without some awkward clipping. This just makes things not fit properly and therefore a bit harder to use (for the way I build). It would be nice if the pieces (specifically awning and facade) from each set fit together a bit better to make custom built structures look more realistic.
 
This does sometimes happen because of map height optimization for each biome map. Each biome map has its own ground zero optimization and they tend to be different from one another. This also causes different water levels for each biome map. It isn't something intentional, just poor optimization for a few of the maps which then causes grid height issues with grid pieces. I would recommend tapping shift to level off your height with the terrain, if that doesn't work try setting grid height to something other than 0 meters and try lowering or raising piece height by holding down shift. If nothing works try leaving construction menu and repeat. This process usually does the job for me.

That being said, there are indeed pieces that clip strangely regardless of the global optimization issue I mentioned above, which do require piece-specific optimization by the devs.
