Shape Editing Snaps

Enhancements to the snapping behavior when working in shape edit mode allow you to ignore internal points and edges and use the Z value of elements as a snap point.

Control Internal Snapping

Enable or disable the snapping to internal points and edges when in shape editing mode.

1. On the contextual tab, select Modify | <Element>Shape Editing Panel drop-down(Snap to Editor Points and Lines).
2. When selected, your cursor will snap to internal points and edges created during shape editing.
3. When cleared, the internal points and edges are ignored.
   Note: The setting is cleared by default.

See Modify the Shape of an Element.

X, Y, Z Snapping

After entering into the SlabShape mode, click the Snap XYZ button in the Modify | Toposolid tab Modifier Elevation panel.

The value displayed near the cursor reports the elevation of the reference objects based on the Elevation Base setting. If Snap XYZ is selected and the mouse hovers over on a place that is not a reference object, the elevation follows the "Along surface" behavior.

See Snap to Reference Objects.
