Snapping to grid settings

edited June 21 in General

I can't seem to get the snap to work properly on grid, it always chooses the "near" snap instead of snapping to crossing grid lines. Very difficult to actually draw walls and plates to grid lines, since they are not accurately snapping to crossing lines. I've tried different bonsai snapping settings but don't seem to find the correct one. How to fix this? Default grid snaps "correctly" since it snaps to middle of edge, and middle grid lines happen to be positioned in middle position of crossing gridlines. But they don't snap to actual grid crossings.

    I have been using this method to snap the walls to the grids. Not able to snap at grid intersections. PFA video

  • Hi @Jumalvelho, I've pushed a commit that should fix this issue. Let me know if it works now.

  • @bruno_perdigao looks good, thank you

    FYI I posted an issue #6808 because IFC4x3 models can't edit the gridline (unless you TAB them)
    cheers

    Hi, a question how these commits can be "activated": if I download bonsai-0.8.3-alpha2506242117 version and install it is this commit automatically included in this version? Is there a simpler way to update changes?

  • @Samppa When commits are made a release is built including every commit up to that point.
    All you have to do is get this release from github, and manually install it to test the fix, once the build is created just like you appear to have done. Just look at the timestamp of the commit, and the timestamp of the latest release to be sure the build happened after the commit.
    Alternative one is to wait for a general release (i.e. 0.8.3 at extensions.blender.org) but that might be a month or two away.
    Alternative two is to run the unstable, and set up Blender to get Bonsai from the unstable repo. This obviously is a little prone to regressions and breakage, but you still have to click the update button in Blender, so you still control when it gets the latest unstable release. See: https://docs.bonsaibim.org/guides/development/installation.html#unstable-installation
