Snapping vertices?
Hi, there,
Here's my situation: I've got a model built, and I would like to add a line that sits on top of another.If I choose an end vertex from each line and choose to snap the two objects together by vertices, then it does what I want and aligns the two on top of one another. However, on the opposite end of the line, it's still not snapped (of course). The problem is, if I then select the opposite ends of the lines I just snapped and again select to snap the two together, the end I originally snapped to begin with will become misaligned and the end I just did lines up fine.... I know the way I explained above doesn't make it easy to follow...I guess my real question is: Is it possible to snap vertices while dragging them around in vertex mode? |

Re: Snapping vertices?
Snap together will move both vertices to a new location (halfway actually).
When I want to move one point to the same location as an existing other point I usually click the target, copy its location into the 'move to' X/Y/Z input boxes in the left toolbar by clicking the '>' button, then select the point(s) I want to move and click 'move to'. There are also some scripts posted in the forum by Thierry Videlaine which can be very helpful. They allow you to align items with a reference line or plane. peter |
