Hi,

After a long time I am using this no idea… I am doing wrong or something I am missing.

One edge I have to align to other edge. on selected edge, right click in arrow and hold command, and axis will extend. I think this is the command but I tried all option, control, shift but extended arrow not working.

Can you please guide me in that.

I am Mac user.

thanks.
Imran.

Hi Imran,

What comes to mind:
https://www.cineversity.com/vidplaytut/use_axis_extension_in_the_rotate_tool_to_accurately_snap_rotations

The following are just wild guesses:

Do you have the Axis extension mentioned here
https://help.maxon.net/#TOOLPOLYPEN

perhaps this
https://help.maxon.net/#TOOLPOLYPEN-MDATA_MAINGROUP

or this one
https://help.maxon.net/#TOOLMOVE

in mind?
Is there anything that is close?

Cheers

Hi Dr, Sassi,

Axis extension was helpful not not much clear. Its basic but when not use any command for long time…. it goes out from hand and new commands comes in.

Command and right click on axis arrow once at a time and axis arrow i can enlarge and reduce and then click what and what process still figuring out.

For quick… I am doing manually but fighting to figure it out.

Hi Imran,

Yes, it seems kind of stubborn and straightforward at the same time. I took a cube rotated it, recreated the example from your link, and it just fails. If everything is orthogonal, things are simple. While things are orthogonal, one could just take the value of the neighbor edge and apply it to the edge’s points. Well, life in modeling is often more complex, hence my rotation of the object.

I guess what you are looking for is in this tutorial, around 08:20

Manual (example 3) Perpendicular Snap
https://help.maxon.net/us/#DMODELING-SNAP_SETTINGS?highlight=perpedicular,snap

I was not able to find any hint (tutorials here, manual, or anything in terms that showed up googling the request) that indicated that this would be an option with edges.

I have had prepared already a video, but then saw your image from the new post, so the rhythm of click and go was my target here. Yes, not your question, but I have a question, is that more clear to understand?

All the best

P.S.: Perhaps this is the least confusing way to do it, and the Null used here can be reused for the next ‘action’.

Thanks Dr. Sassi, its clear…! Some hold and drop keys was confusion.

Thanks for your help.

Regards.

You’re very welcome, Imran, thanks for the feedback.

Enjoy your project.
