Is there a reason why the highest panel (see screenshot) doesn't have the full height of a node? I'm wondering if it has any use cases because for me I really often could need a panel that has the full height, but since this one hasn't I have to use the slabs of which the textures of the small sides don't align.
Could the panel either get changed or a new one get added?

EDIT: Same goes for the microblack on the left of it.

"panel" describes the footprint of the node, which is 1/2 of a node. similarly, "micro" is 1/4 of a node. the huge number of panel/micro variations are generally not used very often, but there's no way to tell whether changing the model wouldn't break someone's build. also, the "1/2 slab" is dimensionally the same as a "full height panel", so that'd be redundant.

one solution is just to wait for my moreblocks PR to get accepted, at which time nodebox-type stairsplus nodes (i.e. everything that's not a slope) will use the aligned textures feature.
