Could somebody explain please why when I want to snap pivot point to a certain vertex I can't do it.
Pivot and vertex checked in in the snap window. Still when i try to snap the banding line starts not from the pivot center but rather the point I put my mouse cursor on the screen and even if the target vertex is X marked the snapping doesn't work or work only withing a screen 2d space.
I have 3ds max for years and still don't understand how the snapping works. Sometimes it works and sometimes it's completely off. It's one of the reasons I prefer Blender for modeling.
Just unchecked the pivot in the list. Nothing changed.
And I don't see the small circle at the center of Move Gizmo
Tried in both Perspective and Orto viweports, no difference also
ps. I am using Max2008. Is it kind of version specific?
Besides of the pivot point I sometimes need to snap progection modifier cage vertexes to a certain mesh. It also never worked normaly. At the same time any random mesh vertex to vertex snapping works just fine.
Thanks for the info. I found that "Use Axis As Start Snap Point" checkbox although still not fixes the thing completely but makes snapping somewhat tolerable.
