So I tried the demo and the functionality is a game-changer for BB layouts.

That being said, the need to nest box modules to make modules “grid-span” is unnecessarily complicated if you don’t need to group the modules in that box-cell.

If the “Size and placement” fields were present on all direct decendants of the box-module. Then advanced layouts would be much easier to manage. With less markup aswell.

Oh, and add an aspect ratio/object fit to the image module pleace 😉
