Snapping
Snapping in 3D indicates which point, edge, surface, or center is going to be picked.
The available snap points are dependent on which tool (Measurement, Markup, or Clip Plane) you are using.
Snapping Preference
Snapping preferences can be defined per tool (Measurement, Markup, or Clip Plane). When the tool is activated, a toolbar will display at the bottom of the screen.
The default setting is Auto, which will snap to the closest edge, point, face, or center that your cursor is near.
| Tool | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Auto-snapping | The selected tool will snap to points, edges or faces. |
| Snap to points | The selected tool will only snap to points. |
| Snap to edges | The selected tool will only snap to edges. |
| Snap to faces | The selected tool will only snap to faces. |
Combining Preferences
You are not limited to only selecting one snap preference. When two preferences are selected, the application will snap to the closest preference (edge, point, face or center) that your cursor is near.
