Hi, I’m having a problem where objects will snap to a place but with even a small zoom in, it is revealed that they are not actually at the point they appeared to snap to .I believed this to be a tolerance issue at first, but I’m actually able to measure a distance between different objects that have all snapped approximately to the same point. Is there a setting I’m missing to increase precision of snaps?
This is an example of different masses that are all supposed to be referencing the same point, but are not actually touching. The selected line is 1" for scale
It’s not a tolerance problem, it’s a “you have all the snaps turned on so you have no idea what it’s even snapping to, every point on the model is a snap location.” And if you built the model in that state of chaos…oh dear.
You don’t need to have any more than 1 or 2 active at any time and you can override individual snaps as needed on a per-click basis.
I turned on a few extra snaps for the photo to see if that would affect my performance.
I’m rebuilding the model with only the snaps I need on, and so far have had no issues… My confusion comes from never experiencing this kind of imprecision after 3 years of drafting and modelling in rhino 7, usually with every snap turned on except near, center, and perpendicular (because I use the rest of them regularly.)
Throughout the original making of this model, I didn’t locate anything with a snap unless I knew it was the right snap activating, (because it lets you know which snap is activated) which leads me to wonder if this could be an issue with push/pull editing maybe?
I talked about this issue with a peer and he has noticed the same issue with his rhino 8 precision as opposed to rhino 7. Dale, I appreciate you helping me and giving me useful suggestions. Jim, I appreciate your flippancy, but Dale answered my question plenty well.
But it doesn’t sound like this issue if fixed for you?
We’d need a workflow to be able to troubleshoot what’s going on, but, generally, I haven’t seen any differences between Rhino 7 and Rhino 8 in this regard.

I had to remove a few layers I wasn’t using to decrease the file size, but this is an identical model to the one I shared a screenshot from originally.
