I'd think this is a bit dangerous, the easiest way to achieve this is by putting the player into spectator temporarily (but maybe some of the devs have another idea). You'd just be able to fly away your character, the problem is if you abruptly would exit the build tool you could fall to your death when in the air, because we have to put you back into your original gamemode (probably survival or hardcore). This can lead to accidental deaths when people accidently escape out of the build tool.

I believe this could be solved with some sort of bounding box centered around the building you are trying to place where it just wont let you leave while in the viewing mode.

A bounding box won't fix the vertical fall problem, it only takes 20 ish blocks and most schematics are well taller than that.

maybe you can somehow copy the block (xyz) the player standing on before turning him to spectate or "viewing" mode. Then they can click something like cancel to leave the viewing mode. Then they will be tp back to the original spot before become survival mode or hardcore?
