The Snap Project Nodes option allows you to project nodes
to their associated geometry. Select from the following methods.
- Nearest
Projects selected nodes to the closest location on its associated geometry.
- Direction
Projects selected nodes to their associated geometry along the specified direction.
- Explicit
Specify the X, Y, and Z offsets to define the vector for the direction that the node is to be projected.
- Vector
Select two points to define the vector for the direction that the node is to be projected.
- Always normal
If enabled, then the node will be moved only if the angle between the surface normal and the defined vector is less than 5 degrees. If the angle is greater than 5 degrees, the node will not be projected and a message will be displayed in the message window.
- Project to
Specify whether to project nodes to All Parts, or to only Active Parts.
Note: Active parts are determined by the Parts branch of the tree. Active status is not affected by enabling and disabling entities or blanking specific entities. If you do not want nodes to be projected to certain entities, you may need to place those entities into a separate part and disable it (deactivate it) in the model tree.
