    Choosing particular snap while working,

    Choosing particular snap while working,

     

    In the AutoCAD, while working, we can choose “Shift+Right Click” to get the list of snap options to choose a particular snap. How this might be performed in the Revit?

     

    Also, I’m not sure how to get the snap size to be abit bigger. For example, the cross in the screenshot below is quite small and has no accompanying tips to indicate its function.

     

    Thank you

     

    Best

    I constantly use the keyboard shortcuts listed under the Snaps dialog (under Manage tab, see image), which make that particular snap dominant, which means that, for instance, if you input "SE" (no enter or spacebar) it will look exclusively for an Endpoint to snap to. The difference from AutoCAD is that AutoCAD will not accept the input if you don't click a valid snap point, but Revit will accept it even if you 'miss' the snap point.

    Many thanks for the elaboration. This is quite useful.

     

    In my particular case, I want to move the column to the wall from the indicated base points. I could get the base point on the column but never know how to get the base point indicated on the wall shown in the screenshot.

     

    How might this be done?
