Dynamic rotation with snapping

[Anonymous]

Hi

How can i rotate the first box to the second box around yellow axis using snapping to join them together side by side?

Thanks

Hi!

There is no way to do such a dynamic rotation interactively, you need to run a simulation, or simply use

Modifiy -> Snap Align Objects -> 3 Points to 3 Points.

Thank you for reply

I just begin to learn maya

You can see that 3 points to 3 points doesn't work

Hi!

Sorry, I can't watch the "private" video, but for 2 identical cuboids it works, I tested it here with Maya 2020.1 .

For further help, please provide the scene-file.

Hi!

The links do not work.

Here a corrected link:

Please make sure both objects have the same Vertex Order (not flipped or mirrored):

Edit Mesh -> Reorder Vertices

Thank you for your reply

Vertex order - it is very disappointing!

The first selected vertex should be moved to appropriate - the fourth selected vertex and so on

If it is not so then it's bad!!!!!!!!!!! :((((

Hi!

I agree that this is not ideal,

it should work this way especially if selection order is tracked.

You can add a Maya idea here:

Help -> Speak Back -> Ideas for Maya

or you can report this problem (bug?) to Autodesk.
In Maya main menu:
Help -> Speak Back -> Report a Problem

Oh, it's not possible bcoz maya exists gigantic amount of time and if after all this long period they can't understand how to do modeling instruments then it is world failure

I modeled during 15 years and i programmed modeling scrips for such software and i know all neccesary information how any tool should work - world failure

Thank you and good luck 🙂
