Snaping to it

[Master chief]

i have a complexe model thats set to a grid of 5X5 and have a circle with 8 points , the whole lathe thing , but i need it to be connected to a specifing point as to not and seams , is there a way to select say the bottom point and snap it to point A with the others folowing but the circle not being destorted

you better show a screen capture. I have no idea what you are trying to do.

Ok go into top view and use the lath tool to create a circle it will usualy have 8 points , now what i want to be able to do is to is to grab one of the points like say the bottom one and snap it to a grid point with the others following the same path so it remains a circle and not some blob thing.

I still don't understand. Maybe a drawing? Or some idea of what shape you are trying to end up with? If you snap the control points to a grid, it won't be a circle any more.

 

How about if you select several points and drag them all at the same time? Or Extrude?

I think I understand what you want but rather than using snap to grid you should just drag and rotate the whole lathed mesh so that one cp is on the point in the grid you want. It won't be exact but it should be close enough. Snapping to grid doesn't have any "options"... you either "snap" or you don't.

ok hopefully this will help

 

in this pic iv made a blob with a few points on grid line and a few not on them

 

now in this one iv moved it up a few and wat tto snap the 3 points that where on the grid to the grid points closist to then new position but having the other connected points move that same distance but not to a grid point

Vern is right. Just select the whole thing and manually move it to where you want it to be. Snap doesn't do what you are trying to do.
