AC3D Forums - View Single Post - Gridsnap doesn't quite behave the way I expect (or really, really, really want it to)

I've noticed that before, but since I don't use grid snap very often I've ignored it.

What looks like is happening is what you said. When moving a vertex with grid snap on the vertex only moves in steps of the grid size. So, if the grid is 0.1 and the point is at 0.01 you can only move to 0.11, 0.21, etc.

If you want the vertex to align with the world grid, use the menu command "Vertex->Snap to Grid". Then (all) the selected vertex(es) will snap to the nearest fixed grid point(s).
