  • These data snapping settings apply to the currently active 3D window only. Snap settings are independently set for each window.
  • Note that if you 'snap' to data, you will automatically enforce selection of that data, regardless of what data selection options were previously set in the Overlay Selection dialog.

Field Details:

Snap To: select the snap mode:

  • Off: turns all snapping off.
  • Point: snap to the nearest point i.e. including points, string segment mid or end points, wireframe triangle corner or centre point, etc.
  • Lines: snap to the nearest line i.e. including any position along a string, wireframe triangle edge, etc.
  • Grid: snap to the intersection of the defined grid, whether visible or not
  • Surface: snap to the indicated position on the wireframe triangle's surface.

Overlays: specify the overlays that are to be associated with the current snap mode settings.
