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.
Perspective viewport, 3D Snaps to Vertex (snap to pivot is not required). Grab the small circle at the center of the Move Gizmo, drag to the required Vertex.
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.
Yes, that's why it is important to state your version (otherwise anyone responding will assume the current version), and yes it has changed since 2008.
IIRC when moving the Pivot in earlier versions you didn't actually get the Move Gizmo, just the Pivot Point itself, which made life much harder. You could try snapping a temporary object (dummy) to the required vertex, then instead of moving the object Pivot, use the Align tool to do it.
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.
And that is one of the changes since 2008 - that option is no longer available. That said, personally I find the snapping much better now - others may well disagree 😉
