Create objects under mouse

Create objects under mouse

I wish that I could create an object under my mouse so that I don't have to go to world zero and move the object all the way to where its needed. 

 

I also wish there were more advanced features like creating objects under mouse that stick to the surface of a pre-existing model. (similar to auto-grid in 3ds max)

 

Thanks

Great suggestion @Wolf-Man - We are looking into this.  

 

Handy tip in the meantime: If you hold a snap key, like X for grid or V for vertex and then middle mouse drag you will snap a selected object to your current view. Very handy for pulling something into your space from the origin.

Thanks for that info. I will give it a go. Please reference applications like Fusion 360 for how objects can be created on top of other objects with the intent to Boolean. That whole interactive and free-style is what Maya should push for.

 

Thanks again. I will try and make time to collate my suggestions for maya. 

great to see another minor but very useful suggestions got attention it deserves. A lot of ideas status changed to Under review lately . Would that mean 2020 is closing fast ?
