❔ Create new project in folder

Anyone got a tip for creating a new project inside a folder in visual studio? or make the .sln file treat the project as part of the project but place correctly at that location?

You can create the project(s) via the CLI wherever you want, then add them to the sln later, either via CLI or VS

you shouldn't be trying to add projects under other projects. don't do it each project should have it's own root directory with no projects underneath it you can create the project wherever you want just don't try to nest a project in a child directory of an already existing project the view you are currently looking at in Visual Studio is the "Solution Explorer" view. It is not a representation of the file structure the project can be located anywhere on your file system but it will be listed at the top level in the Solution Explorer unless you make a solution folder

if you click that button in Visual Studio it will switch to the folder view which shows the files as they exist in the file structure I'm not encouraging you to click that button as you may confuse yourself... but I'm just mentioning it since you seem to be confusing the standard Solution Explorer view with the folder view
