Larry_Sweeney Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 When in plan view I have a difficult time snapping to 3D solids. I usually have to zoom way in and then I still have to be very patient trying to snap to a corner of the solid for placement. If I'm in a 3D view I can snap right to a 3D solid. Is this a X14 problem or is there a setting somewhere I can change to make it easier to snap to a 3D solid in plan view? I don't remember this being such a problem in earlier versions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry_Sweeney Posted February 6, 2023 Author Share Posted February 6, 2023 Mark...................It's when I'm trying to do a "point to point" move in plan view and yes I do have that checked. I don't have a problem with dimensions and the snapping for point to point move only seems to be an issue in plan view. In a 3D or elevation view I don't have a problem snapping to a 3D solid for a point to point move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
para-CAD Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I experience the exact same thing. I created a bunch of 3D solids and when using Point-to-Point move, it's as if it is trying to decide what to grab....to closest corner point or one farther away (z axis as viewed from the screen). I also found that zooming WAY in and then trying to select a P2P move point becomes easier. I have put up with the behavior because I thought it just is what it is.

MarkMc Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Thought it might be grid snaps but just tested with and 2 plans without that on. Worked as expected as the object was already selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottharris Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Larry, we have made a number of snapping improvements in X15. I took a quick look at the Point-to-Point move using a solid, and it seems to work well in a plan and elevation view. That version is due out this spring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry_Sweeney Posted February 8, 2023 Author Share Posted February 8, 2023 Scott................Thanks for sharing. Now it's just the "waiting". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPDesign Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Hi Larry, Another thought, you could use temp dimensions to move it, select the 3d solid on the face you want to move and select the dimension box and enter 0 and the move all icon on the right.
