The sizing handles do not align with the elements themselves. This makes it incredibly difficult to manipulate elements in the scene.

Hi @Torrence_Welshans,

Please make sure that the **Canvas Snapping** feature is turned on.  
You can check it by going to the **View** tab \> select **Canvas Snapping**.

If it is not your case, kindly attach your project package ( **File** \> **Save As** \> **Package** ) here, or send it via [support@atomisystems.com](mailto:support@atomisystems.com) so we can take a look at

Regards,  
Thuy

Hi,

From your project package, we found out that the **StakeMnt\_1** element in the **StakeMnt-Button** has a large size. But the rest is transparent so it looks like nothing.

When clicking outside on the rest, you may feel that it’s an issue.  
But everything will be ok if you resize the StakeMnt\_1.

Have a good time,  
Thuy

Thanks for the reply! I see it now. We were using the **General** tab to change the size, instead of **Position & Size**.

Are there any plans to link those two so we don’t have to enter the dimensions twice?

Hi,

The **General** tab and **Position and Size** tab have different settings.  
Changing the image size in the **Background Image** section means that you are adjusting the background image of the element.  
While changing size in the **Position & Size** tab allows you to change the boundary of the element itself.  
Sometimes, each one can be used for separate purposes so we need to set it up independently.

Hope that it clarifies.  
Best regards,  
Thuy
