Hi,
Relatively new user here. Love Mecabricks! Great app.
Had a suggestion for a feature. When you're moving a brick in the build space and trying to get it lined up with other pieces, it would be helpful to get a better idea where it is in 3d space. Could the brick project a "shadow" down the different 3d axes? A shadow along the bottom grid and projected out to sides. That way when you're moving a piece along the XY you can see where it is before dropping it down along the Z axis.
I've seen this feature before, but I've forgotten where.
Here's a sketch that will hopefully make it clearer.

Thanks for the great app!
I know this isn't what you're refering to, but you can set the visual settings to HDRI and click the "Lamps" and "Shadows" checkboxes (so it's true). Then, add a floor on 3D Rendering mode, set it as a square, add a light (type = "Sun") and tilt it a little bit so a shadow is projected.
This way you can have a more immediate sollution.

Feel free to ask if I wasn't clear!
