[off topic] How to turn off snapping in SU?

Post by suvakas » Fri Sep 18, 2009 6:02 am

Sry for the off topic, but i really need some help.
I'm forced to use SU for some Google Earth models and well.. it is a pain for me.
How do you guys turn off that snapping feature? I want to be able to move/rotate my models around freely, but the SU takes over and snaps to some imaginary grid or whatever. I can't accurately place my models over Google map.

You can't turn off SU's inferencing engine.

..but you can disable length snapping and change the precision settings. This may help you.

Go to Window->Model Info->Units and turn off length snapping and set your desired precision. You can disable angle snapping too.

Thank you Whaat!
Much better control with those things turned off.
Model still tries to snap back to it's initial position when moving though. But I guess there's nothing more to do.
