Cylinder alignment
Description: it's way faster using a builder than painting each vertex.
Let's select and input data for a small cylinder and then pressing build Button:

Apparently (shown in circles) vertexes don't seems indeed aligned at grid having floating values.
By Using Command
Actor Align which for me is way simple because I have a button (and even more buttons) bound for that, I think we can have cylinder aligned somehow depending on grid used (my case it's 8 UU by default).
- stage_1.PNG (104.29 KiB) Viewed 9997 times
It looks aligned but I want to see in numerical format what is about
- stage_2.PNG (39.5 KiB) Viewed 9997 times
using Menu - Edit - Copy command and then Menu Edit Paste in some text editor - brush will have a numerical format and I will look where is being written "Vertex"

Origins and textures are not fitting exactly due to surfaces created but Vertexes are perfectly aligned.
So to speak we have a cylinder which will not be causing too many problems if it will be linked at grid with other brush having the same good build.
THAT simple... builder and button + data input do take under a minute for building a cylinder or whatever brush fitting to the grid.
