Snap to Ground

Rhino
1

Is there an option to orient objects and let their bounding box snap to the active c-plane, like “Snap to Ground” feature in Keyshot?

Thank you

I’m usually using _Align _Bottom in the front or right plane to do that.

Hi Hannes - here is a script that may do what you want - it moves objects either to the World or Cplane Origin or closest point, either from the bounding box center or base (command line options)

CenterOnOrigin.py (2.9 KB)

To use the Python script use RunPythonScript, or a macro:

_-RunPythonScript "Full path to py file inside double-quotes"

-Pascal

@martinsiegrist and pascal is there a way during align to bottom command to set the destination point to Y=0 to snap to origin point of c-plane.

This way I would be not dependent on the script.

would be nice also during other operations like 1D-scale etc.

thank you!

PS: GridSnap turned on during operation won’t work.

With smart track on you can type 0 to snap to the origin. Check the settings for Smart Track under modeling aids… >>> Smart point at CPlane origin
