Thank you so much for preparing such a wonderful video for blender beginners. As a cad user architect, i couldn't be able to understand how can i do modelling precisely in blender before watching your nice video.
The snaps mimic the original Autosketch, remembering that it referred to lines and vertices only. Once younhave faces and solids snap takes on a whole new meaning. Thanks for this video, seeing is worth a thousand words.
This tutorial, is perfect. I've been struggling with understanding snapping, but I finally do now! And God am I having fun! Thanks a lot for this wonderful tutorial!
Thank you for this; I am a casual user creating a boardgame, flirting with possible digital implementation, and anything that can help speed me along---- group select, move and manipulate; keyboard shortcuts, animation shortcuts, best file output formats for print publishers, and so on---is very useful.
Thanks. Finally realised exactly why I could not get snapping to work when watching this. I was moving objects together without considering where the 4 white arrow heads were!
Hey man, thank you so much! I've been watching your Sketchup tutorials for years, and have been an avid Sketchup user. I realize however, that in order to progress as a 3D artist I absolutely need to learn Blender. I think your Blender tutorials coming from years of using Sketchup will greatly help myself and others with the transition. I'm psyched that you've started this tutorial series and can't wait to transfer some of my more complicated modelling to Blender!
That was the conclusion I came to as well - nothing wrong with SketchUp at all, but to keep learning, I needed to branch out and start learning other programs as well. Glad I could help you get started! :)
my dad had me on sketch-up since I was 8 and suggested blender to me and I have gotten quite good at it now. happy to be able to finally extrude things to lengths of other faces.
if anyone was like me, to snap, if you are snapping along the x axis, you hit x for the axis, the hover over the vertex you wanna snap to, you will get that yellow circle and it will auto do it, but ty for the video helped so much
Awesome. I am new to Blender. I am a CorelDraw user of 30 years and in that bad boy, I have all the snapping on, so I just did the same with my current Blender test file and I am loving it.
omg bro, you made my day, I am looking for the solution to the snapping edge or corner for over a month, I thought it needs to use the gizmo to do it, thanks.
Great video showing snapping in Object mode. Most of the other videos on the topic focus on Edit mode which completely ignores how snapping works in Object mode with the Object Origin point.
Thank you for this! This is going to save me so much time and effort. Now I don't have to keep hopping back and forth between Blender and MS 3D Builder. I also gotta commend you for how perfectly clear and concise your video was. This is exactly how any and all tutorials should be made.
Lol - not just for beginners! One thing I do wish is that Blender would allow you to move objects by setting a base point like a lot of CAD programs, rather than having to re-set the object origin though
I was a bit hesitant to watch a 14 minute video on snapping since all the forums posts I looked at suggested that specific vertex-to-vertex snapping outside of edit mode was impossible. Obviously with edit mode that would *only* move the vertex when I wanted my entirely model to move. Selecting vertex, moving cursor to selected, moving origin to cursor, and then select snap vertex by centre worked perfectly for what I wanted! Its absurd that Blender doesn't have a simple "select this vertex as origin" on the snapping tool directly.
There's 2 ways to cover the topic - really quick, or in-depth. The goal on this one was in-depth because to me it's really important. I do wish they'd let you select your origin rather than it just jumping around randomly

it was helpful! I have been looking for information on snapping after watching the 4th official Blender Fundamentals lesson. There, this topic was raised, but not disclosed. After this video, everything became much clearer. I just didn't quite figure out what is the difference between snapping by center and snapping by median
Thank you very much, you saved my day, actually I was stuck with tracking data that's actually made of points, snap my null object to each point, really useful in blender so thanks a lot.
6:36: I must correct this:. "Snap with Center" option doesn't mean you snap with center of an object but rather the center of transformation which you can set for example to the 3d cursor, which is actually very very useful. That way you can set the point to snap with wherever you want on the fly and I was looking for that functionality for a looooong time.:)
Great ! Thanks a lot for this tutorial! You showed me how to snap with reference point by snapping! Thanks again I was looking for a solution and you did it! Bravo for all your videos!
Thanks for this video. I am trying again to learn Blender. Coming from a CAD background, knowing how to use the snaps is a must. I almost pushed Blender aside in favor of FreeCAD but then I found your video. I will be spending some time trying out the snaps..... maybe make a video about it.
Thanks for explaining the snapping tool. :) One thing I am trying to find is how to bend a wall say around a pivot point to a specific angle without distorting the mesh that is not being changing angle. The biggest problem is knowing how to call it, I suspect. It's probably in there somewhere.
Lucky shot then because Blender sucks when it comes to simple snapping operations. The complete opposite is true for tools such as Inkscape. In Inkscape, as a matter of fact, you have to deactivate snapping on multiple occasions because it's really that proactive and effective in snapping to precision.
Thanks for the detailed useful tutorial. For the Edge perpendicular span try it with curve ( spline). Go to edit mode and try to move the vertex to an edge of another object.
Absolute grid snapping is what I was looking for, thanks! Also, when you tick that box, it also affects the way snapping works when you transform your mesh while holding Ctrl, which is really handy.
I wanted to snap one room to another room with the connecting faces already missing (only vertices there) but it just wouldn't snap. What I didn't notice in your video until I looked closely: When you use the "Closest" option with "g" mode active (press g once, don't keep it pressed!), you have to hover your mouse over the vertex you want to snap your object to. Then you're going to get the same orange circle around the chosen vertex shown in the video. If you're having problems finding the right vertex, just switch to "Wireframe" mode (press "z", then pick "Wireframe").
really great! Compliement, really clear explanation (not easy to find). Talking about 'precision tools', have you done some tutorial about using measure, I mean create meshes striating from real measures (I mean numbers). So for example input with, height and so on? Thanks
is there a faster way to set the origin of an object to a certain vertex than assigning it through 3d cursor? (would be nice if you just click the right button on the vertex and then 'origin to a vertex' :) )
Thank you! Is there any snapping function in Sculpt mode? I would like to set a base floor height that none of the sculpt tools can go beyond. Is this possible? Thanks!
Hey Justin, May I ask, why does the axis run through the middle of the cube instead of having the bottom corner snapped to the axis upon opening the program and can this be sorted by default? I am just moving over from Sketchup...Thanks mate.
I have to say, I really love your tutorials, and when several tutorials pop up when I'm looking for help, I usually pick yours first. But I also admit that I always put the volume to zero during your introduction....
Hi everyone! Let me know if you have any questions about snapping in the comments below! :)
Thanks
If it were not for you, it would have taken me ages to find

Why not read the blender documentation? Do you seriously need a tutorial for everything, including sex? ROFLMAO
Excellent comprehensive tutorial (including how to select and move by a corner)
Volume snap is good for bones in a rig for animating. I'm enjoying the quick tips. Thanks.

Oh wow, This is so useful! Bridging some of the gap from sketchup. Thank you!
Really from any CAD software :) It's a great feature
Thank you. very helpful. also pressing & holding the ctrl key activates snapping to whatever its set to as long as ctrl is held.
That is nice! Thank you!

Thank you. I now know how to use Vertex Snapping "Active". I was getting very frustrated with an object not snapping how I wanted it to.
That has been one of the most helpful videos I have seen so far in my journey to get learn Blender.

@@TheCGEssentials I do wish they would stop changing the interface though. It makes using Blender really confusing.

Very helpful... Thanks for sharing different ways to snap...
Thank you very much. I wasn't aware until now, that I can combine the different snap methods.
Yep! it's very helpful :)
I searched up this tutorial because when i was modeling. It was snapping. Because i accidentally press Shift + Tab. But the tutorial was handy!
Thanks for the video CG Essentials! I'm a beginner in blender and this was very useful.
Glad it was helpful!
Your videos are so useful for beginners and very easy to follow. Thanks!

For snapping to active, you don't have to do all that. Just select the cube, selecting the snapping vertex last, and it already works.
Why even leave such a rude comment. I learned so many things. And ya, you do need to do all that.

Yeah it's really time that Blender gets its own Rubber Band snapping tool like 3ds Max has, nothing beats that.
