placing objects correctly

[RDRedwing]

the help file says not to place objects on grid lines to avoid parts of the object being cut off from certain view angles... nice, but it doesn't work for me.

I've been trying for almost an hour now, no matter where in the grid I place the object, something WILL get cut off. And no, no shapes were colliding with the grid lines.

Sometimes even the runway gets cut off on takeoff... what's wrong there?!?

Redwing, are you using a very large custom airfield?

Because all the airfields, vehicle fields,  factories, and strat targets that came with the editor easily fit within a grid square.

Try zooming in more so that you can move your airfield in smaller increments.

I tried it with all kinda airfields, it even happens with small ones... I'm probably just doing something wrong but I can't figure out what...
