Part II: Working with Objects

FIGURE 7.19
The 2.5D snap feature snaps to vertices of 3D objects projected onto the active grid.

Setting snap points
The Snaps tab in the Grid and Snap Settings dialog box has many points that can be snapped to in two
categories: Standard and NURBS. The Standard snap points (previously shown in Figure 7.18) include
the following:
l Grid Points: Snaps to the Grid intersection points
l Grid Lines: Snaps only to positions located on the Grid lines
l Pivot: Snaps to an object’s pivot point
l Bounding Box: Snaps to one of the corners of a bounding box
l Perpendicular: Snaps to a spline’s next perpendicular point
l Tangent: Snaps to a spline’s next tangent point
l Vertex: Snaps to polygon vertices
l Endpoint: Snaps to a spline’s end point or the end of a polygon edge
l Edge/Segment: Snaps to positions only on an edge
l Midpoint: Snaps to a spline’s midpoint or the middle of a polygon edge
l Face: Snaps to any point on the surface of a face
l Center Face: Snaps to the center of a face
