Impossible to remove vertical line snap

[s252499]

Hello! 

I am working on a structure which has several diagonal constructional features (so, it's impossible to have the structural grid strictly orthogonal). When I need to draw a model line, I often encounter a problem that it does not snap to endpoints, but just goes vertical (snaps to vertical axis). See screenshot attached.

I tried to turn all snaps on/off, check/uncheck them, but nothing works. I don't want it to snap to ortho, only to end- or midpoints.

I couldn't find any solution on the web, everyone just says "turn off the snaps", which, as I said, does not work for me.

I would be grateful for your suggestions.

Did you try right click > snap override

I did, it doesn't work.

Have you tried using TAB?

I often have slightly off-axis as-builts and I just press tab when trying to snap to something that's not orthogonal.

I think it will always have a vertical / horizontal 90deg snap but you could try setting the snap angle you want in the Manage Tab > Snaps > Angular dimension snap increments

I did, unfortunately didn't work for me...

Model lines need the be drawn on a work plane.  Do draw them free from work plane, use structural framing and turn on 3d snap, or create a mass in place and draw model lines with 3d snap.

Unfortunately this also did not work for me.

It's normal that axes snaps are present, but I don't believe there is no possibility to make a slightly diagonal element/line....

Hi, 
i encountered the same problem while modeling from point cloud, as we want to have a real as build, that is not perfect 90 degrees. 

What i di is i used the angular snap, but instead of the 1 5 15 45 90 or whatever degrees, i added 1 2 3 4 5 degrees. 
So the steps are much smaller in between. 

Hope that helps 

PS: I drives me nuts as well that u can turn off the ortho like in autocad.

Worked for me thank you!

The TAB key works for me! Thank you!
