Don't get me wrong, but I don't see the lines moving on that gif

I think because the ground no longer hides the bottom part of the rectangle it is impossible to distinguish where the boundry box enters the ground, and this gives the "feeling" of movement (even though it is not; I'm quite confident the box is properly defined and rendered). Effectively, it is an optical illusion. But one that makes it hard to know where the building is being placed!

In another discussion thread there was talk about making the "hidden" part of the box a different color, which might solve the optical illusion part while still providing the benefit of seeing where the underground portion of your build may intersect with buildings above or below you.

The optical illusion also could mess with seeing what is inside of the scan area of the scan tool, by the way, in a similar way to how that gives issues for the build tool

Agreed. I've taken to flying to each corner of my scanned building to get the perspective from that corner before saving.

Relevant patch reverted, we need to discuss how to approach this for "general box"
