Building in water

Waves driving me crazy trying to snap pillars that just don't want to, making a bridge. Spending an entire day to snap a single beam. I can make an ugly bridge across, but i want it pretty.

Is there a command to freeze time?
Is there nocollision? Or does flymode allow underwater, or at least negate the waves?

Using the cart trick and it doesn't cut it. Yes I'm prepared to cheat.
Can also inform the cart sink after a while for no apparent reason, beware. However it surfaced again after 5 minutes.

While doing this I end up with bloodbags and bone fragments on the ocean floor. This is not cool and create unnecessary bloat.

Thanks a lot good answers. Had 90% success with just commands.
Not happy with the result though, I built it to low so will restart. Going to look into 1st person view mod and get it right.
Here's what I'm working on

I've managed to build a bridge across a river, using a couple of rocks for additional support. It's wide enough to pull a cart over, and tall enough to sail a boat under.

I used core wood for the bulk of supports, and I have built a small outpost up one end.

I did this without using any cheats. I am using mods, but none that have any effect on building.

The bridge/outpost isn't pretty, but it works as intended.

Very nice. You won't get a longboat under there tho.

My own purpose is to heavily reduce the need to travel with boat. I want to be able to pull a cart or simply run across without getting wet.

Now that you have built across a river. Try connecting some islands that have shallow water and to much rocks for you to want to travel with boat there anyway :)

you can use fly to build in the water I use it every time but still it's quite tricky to build a bridges in this game.
so I just craft a raft to go across the close neighbors islands, a lot easier than trying to build a bridges.

You need 2 things
1: Valheim+ or a mod that enables first person view (or the camera stays over water)
2: The console command "debugmode" that enabled Fly with the "z" button

be carefull with landscaping under water, it can break the Water plane
