Stagger
📸 [Placeholder: Diagonal foundation pattern or leaning tower]
Stagger creates diagonal layouts and leaning tower effects by adding progressive horizontal or vertical offsets to your grid.
Stagger adds an offset that accumulates across your grid:
- Horizontal stagger (X/Y) — Creates diagonal patterns
- Vertical stagger (ZX/ZY) — Creates leaning tower effects
| Action | Default Key | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Activate Stagger |
Y (hold) |
Enable stagger mode |
| Increase Stagger |
Scroll Up or NumPad 8 (while holding Y) |
More offset |
| Decrease Stagger |
Scroll Down or NumPad 5 (while holding Y) |
Less offset |
| Cycle Axis |
NumPad 0 (while holding Y) |
Switch X → Y → ZX → ZY |
- X Stagger — Each row shifts sideways
- Y Stagger — Each column shifts forward/backward
- ZX Stagger — Tower leans sideways as it rises
- ZY Stagger — Tower leans forward/backward as it rises
- Select a foundation hologram
- Scale to 6×1 (NumPad 8 five times)
- Hold
Yto enter stagger mode - Press NumPad 0 to select Y axis
- Scroll to add 8m Y stagger
- Place — foundations form a diagonal line!

- Select a foundation hologram
- Scale to 1×1×8 (NumPad 9 seven times)
- Hold
Yto enter stagger mode - Press NumPad 0 until ZX is selected
- Scroll to add 0.5m ZX stagger
- Place — tower leans to the side!

- Small values for lean — 0.25m to 1m creates subtle lean
- Large values for diagonals — Match foundation size for 45° angles
- Combine with Steps — Stagger + Steps = spiral patterns
- Check stability — Leaning structures may look unstable (but work fine!)
- Use Smart! Panel — Press K to type exact stagger values for all 4 axes
