Hi all,

In Maya there is a keyboards middle mouse drag shortcut where you can align a point to another another points height, for example, in the same object, it is really useful.  Is there a way of doing this in the same quick manner in Cinema 4D? 

Thanks,

Ben

Hi Ben,

I hope I duplicate your Maya feature correctly, if so, then this would be (Dynamic Guides and Reference Points)

Dynamic Snapping as discussed in the Manual here:
http://help.maxon.net/#50805

Rick discusses these features here:

These Temporary Guides work as well for points on the same object.

All the best
