Multipatch and 3D object snapping

3D inference constraints snap the pointer to inferred geometric relationships as you construct multipatch and 3D object feature geometry. They automatically appear as orange edge extensions with snap agent symbols when the pointer hovers near a snappable feature geometry.

3D inference constraints are described in the following table:

Global axis or line extension

Snap to the global axis or line extension.

Global axis or line extension

Vertex

Snap to the vertex of existing geometry.

Vertex

Intersection

Snap to the inferred intersection.

Combined

90 degree

Constrain the new segment 90 degrees to the previous segment.

90 degree

Parallel

Constrain a new segment parallel to existing geometry.

Parallel

Midpoint

Snap to the midpoint of existing geometry.
