Rhino 6: direct object snapping is not working, where to look?

Hi…,

here an example for direct object snapping:
Direct_Snapping

I have done a Rhino 6 training. At one PC direct object snapping was not working. Where to look?

Thanks

Yes, I’ve seen that too. I thought I had done somthing wrong. It’s not like in R5 anymore. Broken.

Hey Michael,

No snaps at all showed up on any kind of object even though they were enabled? Wonder if that might be due to a graphics card/driver issue…

It was yesterday or the day before so I don’t remember which kinds, but it wasn’t on all kinds. Line ends worked well (IIRC) but a Box Brep wouldn’t resize (or the other way around, it wouldn’t move, but would resize, I’ve forgotten now which way).

Those would be Gumball handles, not osnaps, or?

I held down the mouse on OSnap End. Well, that’s what I thought I did. I should try again so as to not give any false leads. I’ll try it in a bit, have to finish some other task first.

Hi MIchael - one thing to check it Options > Modeling aids > Snap radius. I think the default is 15 pixels.

It seems I had done something wrong. I just realise that I have to click-release once on a control point before I can then “snap-drag” it.

I tried snap-grab-drag it on first click, which only makes the entire object moving. So I obviously were wrong and it works as designed.

You have this checked in Options>Mouse… If you uncheck it you can drag control points (or anything else) immediately without first click-selecting it.

Hi Pascal,

even when I set the radius to 0 it works here. Sorry, I have now no access anymore to the customer computer.

Thanks

Hi Pascal,

I’m experiencing the same issue, but I’ve toggled what I can here on, and nothing seems to be helping…What was the solve here?

Thank you!!!

Hello -
Please run the SystemInfo command in Rhino and copy/paste the results here.

Hello.
Not sure if i understand, but try to hold your mouse button long enough at the edge until you have an indication marking (END).it should activate snap.
