vertex snapping?

DJM

any way to make geometry snap to vertex in editor? i used this alot in unity before

There's a plugin that hasn't been updated in 2 years. https://github.com/remorse107/vertexsnap. I don't think there is anything in the editor. That would come in handy. Post if you get something working. Everyone must be assembling in Blender, I guess.

im in godot 4 alpha , that doesnt work and isnt very well designed. i was hoping there was a shortcut in the editor to do this as im using modular assets and want to build my levels in godot not completely in blender as one scene.

where do u post feature requests? edit nevermind , its on github

For reference, there's already a proposal on the subject: https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/issues/755

yeah i got a email from github about it

You can use a GridMap, but it greatly limits the type of level you can make.

I guess I'd forget about that. It was issued in April, 2020 and no one has been assigned.

Some of my proposals I made back in godot 1 & 2 days finally got addressed for the later 3.x and 4.0 so I wouldn't say 'forget about it' but yeah, remains to be seen how long it'll take.

If you click on an object and hold Control, it enables Snap. By default Snap uses 1 unit (typically equal to 1 meter). However, on the top of the Viewport, click Transform, then Configure Snap, and you can set another value for units. This isn't exactly as good as vertex snap, but if your objects are similar in size (especially for walls or ground or stuff that is on a grid) it does work okay.

yes i know there is the grid snapping, thats what imusing now. but vertex snapping is so much faster and easiier

Even with walls, the snap goes from the center of the object, so lining up edges doesn't seem like it would work. I haven't used it or anything, but it sounds virtually impossible without vertex snapping. I'll do it in blender.

now im just setting the pivots correctly in blender so they do snap correctly
