Snapping
The measure options dialog allows you to set the cursor to snap to the nearest vertex, edge or line end.
Points and snap points are automatically snapped to. Different cursors feed back what is being snapped
to:
No snap, but a point on a surface is found.
A vertex, point, snap point or line end is found to snap to.
An edge is found to snap to.
Note
The geometry in JetStream is tessellated with triangles, and therefore the cursor will snap to
edges that may appear to be in the middle of a face. Viewing the model in hidden line mode will
make it clear which vertex or edge the cursor is snapping to.
16.3.2. Transforming Objects
The transform objects tool allows you to reposition or rotate an object, defined by points selected with the
measure tools.
Repositioning objects
1. Select the object to be repositioned (see Chapter 9, Selecting Items for more information on how to
do this).
2. Choose one of the measure tools, from Point to Point, Point Line or Accumulate.
3. Select a base point on the selected object. This is the reference point on the object from which the
repositioning will be calculated.
4. Select another point in the scene (or multiple points, depending on which measure tool you selected).
This is the point (or points) which the base point will be repositioned to.
Note
You can only select a point on another object in the scene. Selecting a point in 'space' is not a
valid option. To reposition an object into 'space', you can override the items Transform. See
Section 11.6.3, “ Overriding Transforms ” for details on how to do this.
5. Click Transform Objects to reposition the object at the second point. If you used one of the
