Icon Bar - Snap

This bar provides tools to transfer position, scale, shear and rotation data easily from one object to another. You simply have to select two nodes from the "Nodes" panel and/or the viewport and click on one of these buttons. The transformation data will be copied from the first selected object to the second one. As you can see, the order of selection plays an important role. The functions are not limited to objects of a particular type – properties can also be transferred from objects to emitters, for example.

Copy Transformations

Transfers all available node data to the target object.

Position

Copy only the position data with this button.

Scale

Only the node’s scale information will be transferred.

Shear

Click on this button if you want to copy shear properties.

Rotation

The current rotation angles are shared.

Nearest side

This function calculates the nearest sides between two selected nodes and snaps them together. The first selected object is the reference and will not be repositioned when the second node is translated. This mode is especially useful for object dynamics – for example brick walls.Brings two nodes together as close as possible.

Nearest side (expanded)

Stretches the target node until it touches the reference object.
