3d cursor help

roger · 11th July 2003, 04:38 PM

I am creating a very simple model and want to add a new poygon (a roof surface on a house) that snaps to two existing (eave) vertices. I have nearsnap turned on. However I can never get the polygon to snap to the correct (or indeed any) vertices). I suspect that in 3d terms I am too far away. But how do I move the 3d cursor. There is a comment in the manual under Spheres, Boxes,etc that mentions holding down the alt key whilst dragging. But this does not seem to have the desired effect (any) when in polygon mode.Surely there is a way of changing the the other axis co-ordinate whist in an ortho window. What am I missing.
