1x1 interior plots - why does it start as 1x2?

[Otherwhere]

I'm on the Xbox, and placing these mini interior plots is a huge pain in the a-- because the workshop plot displays as a 1x2 (like normal interior plots). Is there a reason why they aren't a 1x1 in workshop mode? It would make placing them in those small rooms much easier. (I am not versed at using Place Anywhere, though I try, but these plots end up elevating up into the air, clipping into walls, etc., trying to use that functionality.)

It's because the 1x1's are essentially a really clever kludge... The designers took a 1x2 plot and only populated half of it. If you look a at uituit's 1x1 room at l3 while in workshop mode you'll see the outline of a 1x2 room, it's just that half of it is completely empty.

there are glitches you can use in-game with PE but no idea how they work on x-box.
When disable clipping F2 on pc does not work with the snapping points the way I want. I do some variant of the below:
I like to disable clipping in difficult areas clip in a wall or floor block then enable it, set the interior plot. Then remove the block or wall.

I also delay construction to max setting. Then do snapping in some unconventional way with "what I call control blocks or floors. "basically an artificial grid that allows snapping and that I have to remove later. C B Wright is also correct. So, where there is a will there is a way even with 1x2 in 1x1 spaces.

Also with delayed plot "construction I also will hold e and do mass alignments. better with foundation grids before plots but sometimes both or both if really difficult and the block or floor helps with clipping or snapping. Like a handle is the best way to say it?

Sorry, humble suggestions but though 1x1 would be nice there will always be issues that the above will still work on in difficult spaces.

I find that I have to remove the floor in the space I want to put the plot, and for some reason it's more likely to snap in. Then I put the floor back.

With clipping turned off it's possible to put two 1x1's next to each other by having one overlap the other's empty space.

Ah - that explains it! I never thought about it as only half populated. Thanks!
