Rhino 8 (v8.2) OSnap Issues

seems like the new upsdates to rhino 8.1 and 8.2 have created some issues with Osnaps breaking. These were working with WIP, and i think 8.0.
Here i am trying to select a hatch within a layout - no snap on the corner.

when trying to move it to a detail view, whether Osnap will detect the objects within the layout is pretty unreliable.

working here:

not working at all here,with the dimension command not detecting the corners of this bracket (a block made of extrusions, on an unlocked layer):

attached is my modeling aids screen, i have been playing around with these trying to get them to work but it hasn’t changed anything. Nor has enabling every single snap.

Frustrating as these issues don’t happen 100% of the time i try to snap. For me, the issues seem to especially crop up in layouts and when using geometry that is already selected in commands like Copy and Move. It seems to be a problem with detecting the geometry?

has anyone else seen this?

Try turning off “Project object snaps to CPlane”.

Is “AutoAlignCPlane” enabled or disabled? Rhino 8 Strange CPlane / axes / view behavior - cause and solution

Hi david,

thanks for the reply- unfortunately neither of those helped. with newer updates the issue isn’t as bad, but still occurs regularly in this file. Doesn’t seem to happen in any other files, which leads me to believe its a setting in the file somewhere…

Hi Erik - please run the SystemInfo command in Rhino and copy/paste the results here.

Hello,
I’m having a similar issue with Rhino 8 (v8.3).
Starting from a clean file, simply drawing 2 boxes and trying to have one snap to any of the vertices of the other and it never works.

Hello - - The Vertex Osnap applies to meshes and SubD objects. For a box that is not one of these use the End Osnap to snap to the ends of the box edges. Does that do it?

-Pascal

Hello Pascal,

I have all snap options selected besides “Near” so it does include “End” and no it doesn’t work.
I’ve tried resetting Rhino 8 completely and u installed plugins VisualARQ 3 beta and Unreal’s DataSmith (who know plugins might have been the cause).

Completely rebooted my machine and started over from a clean file with 2 boxes in it but no such luck.

Are you using the Move tool or the gumball? If you are using the gumball, be sure Snappy Dragging is turned on in the gumball settings.

Hi Peter,

I was using the gumball. I didn’t even know “snappy dragging” existed as a parameter. I must have enabled at the beginning in Rhino 7 and always assumed it was the default (which it doesn’t seem to be at least in Rhino 8).

It works now! You’re a lifesaver.
Thanks very much.
Walter
