Large grid compoment bounding box

I like to construct large ships, but I have always encountered a time when the character is inside a LG bounding box component such as a massive turret or an engine, and it is very difficult and time-consuming trying to paste the item into a location in a ship, if at all possible.

I might be missing something, I can scroll out the view of the character but not the character itself. Is there a way to do this in survival mode??

Thanks!!

Oscar

Hi, we can place new blocks and/or paste Bp in Spectator mode F8 so that is a thing working in survival and creative mode, the Spectator can be in the way when pasting.

I will add :
-> Worst case would be to create a new world set creative mode and load to place your block, Blueprint the creation once done and use the projector in survival.

OR
-> Just Blueprint the turret block in creative mode and use the Pojector to position in survival.

All the same, it'd be good if construction did its player exclusions less crudely than it does currently.

You should practice with Spectator enabled in survival, as a creative player I learned how to use it in survival, it's limited in survival so your character must be in range to be able to place new blocks.

But Blueprint of the block is an easy way to do this.
