The snap control point identifies the point where you grab the 1up with the mouse. A black cross identifies the snap control point in the 1up preview. By default, it is in the bottom left corner of its imaginary surrounding box. Click this button if you want to change the position of the snap control point. You can now choose the snap control point inside or outside the 1up. You have to repeat this action for each part that you add. You can also keep the Ctrl key pressed to choose a different snap control point. |

Detect Edge Collisions With this option, you prevent that new 1ups you place collide with existing ones. The new 1up snaps in at the edges. If "Detect Edge Collisions" is enabled, more buttons for finetuning the placement become visible. You can also enable several buttons simultaneously. |

|
Detect Edge Collisions by Bleed The new 1up can only be placed in such a way that bleed areas do not collide. |
|
|
Use Sheet Border as Placement Barrier The new 1up cannot be placed outside the sheet. |
|
|
Use Placement Snap Points |
|
Gap |
This is where you specify a value for the gap the new 1up must keep to the other 1ups. In this case, it is impossible to move it closer to the other 1ups. |
