Pasting templates or copies is an absolute pain. It's the single worst part of my workflow when building ships. There's one thing in particular that's responsible for this, and that is paste origin.
Right now, when pasting something in, it needs to be placed against an existing block. While that's questionable, that's not the big issue. The big issue is that which corner of the paste is the origin (and thus is the part that needs to be placed against a block) is predetermined. As such, it becomes unreasonably difficult to paste modular stuff together on certain sides, while on others, it's a breeze.
This can all be fixed in one very simple way: allow us to change which corner the origin is.
I propose a tool to change the origin when pasting.
Additionally, to speed up copying and pasting, I think that when copying something through selection, its origin should automatically be corner 1. That way, you can easily control where the origin is without having to change it through the build tools every time you copy something.
