Here’s what I made earlier when someone had a similar problem. Now I just added a snap to grid -thing to it. I believe it’ll solve your problem. It treats every part as a block in the calculations. It’s not very well optimised, but I don’t think it’ll cause performance issues unless you use models that contain a lot of parts. And for those models, you could actually use a single collision box part, which would prevent possible performance problems.
The function that you are supposed to call is makeSureObjIsInGrid.
local function getCornerCfs(cf, size)
local cornerCfs = table.create(8)
local hxs, hys, hzs = size.X/2, size.Y/2, size.Z/2
local i = 0
-- repeat for each corner of the part using the loop and multipliers in it
for ix = 1, 2 do
local xm =(-1)^ix
for iy = 1, 2 do
local ym =(-1)^iy
for iz = 1, 2 do
local zm =(-1)^iz
i += 1
cornerCfs[i] = cf*CFrame.new(xm*hxs, ym*hys, zm*hzs)
end
end
end
return cornerCfs
end
local function getExtra(cf, size, gridCenterInverse, xLimit, zLimit) -- this is a separate function to avoid code repetition
local hxs, hys, hzs = size.X/2, size.Y/2, size.Z/2
local largestExtraX, largestExtraZ = 0, 0
-- repeat for each corner of the part using the loop and multipliers in it

for i, cornerCf in ipairs(cornerCfs) do
local cornerX, cornerZ = cornerCf.X, cornerCf.Z
-- getting what the offset of this spesific corner of the part would be to the GRID_CENTER
-- If the object given to makeSureobjIsInGrid is a model, this is
-- the CFrame the corner would have if the PrimaryPart of the model would be set to the CFrame given to
-- the makeSureObjIsInGrid
-- if this is a single part not in a model, then the corner's Cframe this checks is the cframe where the corner would be if
-- the CFrame given to makeSureObjIsInGrid would be the CFrame of the part
local relCf = gridCenterInverse*cornerCf
local relX, relZ = relCf.X, relCf.Z
local negX, negZ = relX < 0, relZ < 0
-- this is how much the corner is too far away from the GRID_CENTER on the local x and z axes of the GRID_CENTER
local extraX, extraZ = relX-(negX and -xLimit or xLimit), relZ-(negZ and -zLimit or zLimit)
-- here the script checks if it is further away than any corner checked before
-- and if it is, the largest value will be updated

end
if math.abs(relZ) > zLimit and ((negZ and extraZ < largestExtraZ) or (not negZ and extraZ > largestExtraZ)) then

end
end
return largestExtraX, largestExtraZ
end

Including yourself in a week. Use the proper about of tabs, and don’t do that double-line-break-all-the-time thing. Use double line-breaks to separate statements that are less related, and have single line-breaks for more related statements.
