snap to surface - end key

 select object, move it over the thing you want to snap it to, press End. I'm pretty sure it only snaps to the top of a surface's bounding box.

unreal editor not loading / hanging at 39% (4.26)

I've encountered hangs at these two percentages now - looking at the task manager, it seems like shaders are being recompiled, I think if you're patient and wait a long time (like more than 15 mins, maybe 30 mins) it might actually eventually load....   However if you're not, like me - for the 39% case, I found online that the "solution" is to rename the "Config" folder within your game project to "Config_Old" or something else. That should get the editor loading up fully. However it does wipe all of your project settings, so I think you'll either have to copy those back in, or load a preset or just make sure you set them all again!  Frustrating stuff!

nanite, lumen, texture-over

 Some quick UE5 notes and one texturing note. Nanite - doesn't work with transparent objects like glass. Shouldn't be used if there are lots of overlapping bits - like kit-bashed layered landscapes. Also, Nanite meshes do not render correctly with the Pathtracer - you must disable Nanite on the mesh if you intend to use pathtracer (otherwise the Nanite proxy is rendered, and it looks janky) Lumen - reflections are a bit crap. Might want to use ray-traced refls instead. However, you'll lose the GI in reflections. Texturing note - how to do "layer over" in UE. Use the LERP node and an alpha to "blend". This is kinda simple, but incredibly counterinutitive.
