[Bf-funboard] magnetic grid / objects

Hi Blenderguys,

what I really miss in Blender are some functions for fast and
accurate working. The N-menu and the Snap-menu are nice
but far not enough.
Sometimes it is very frustrating to construct exact modells (like
in architectural visialization). It would be very helpfull to have
magnetic grid(s) and objects (faces, edges, vertices). The magnetic
function should be to switch on/off in the i-window. With this
function it would be a joy to put things like walls together, snapping
in exactly edge to edge. Or to move object-edges magnetically
to grid-lines (now I must put the median point to an edge, to achieve
this with the snap-function). Of course the grid should be scalable,
like in most other programs. Also nice would be to have rulers
to switch on/off.
I am sorry, that I am not a coder, otherwise I could help to write
this features. But I know how important especially the above mentioned
features are for newbies, because I am teaching Blender to pupils
and to art-teachers, and the always get angry about not having
easy and fast "accuracy-tools".

Cheers,
Karl
