Drag Snap

Drag Snap

Vertex-to-vertex move for objects, without entering Edit Mode. Hover a mesh, click the vertex you want to move from, then click the vertex you want to land on — the whole selection is moved by that offset. Use it to butt kit pieces together precisely in Object Mode.

Hotkey: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S (Object Mode, 3D View)

Controls

Key Action
Mouse move Highlight the nearest vertex under the cursor
LMB (first click) Pick the source vertex
LMB (second click) Pick the target vertex and move the selection
Ctrl+LMB Copy the source-to-target distance to the clipboard instead of moving
MMB / Wheel Navigate the viewport
Esc / RMB Cancel
H Show / hide the help legend

Tips

  • Click the same vertex twice to place the 3D cursor there instead of moving anything.
  • Only mesh vertices are snap targets; edges, faces and non-mesh objects are ignored.
