I like the Quicksnap addon for this.

CAD Transform by Stephen Leger is the best free option I've ever encountered.

Thank you so much Chipp, your contributions are always so helpful and selfless. Keep doing the good work ❤

I always wondered if there was a better way, thanks for sharing!

Great video! I always used to change the origin point by pressing Shift + S cursor to selected then setting the origin to 3D, the addon you shared will save a lot of time. Thank you so much 😃!

Snapping Pies is one of those gems that should really be in everyones default setup. 🙂

thanks!

THANKS!

would it be possible to bind the lid mesh to one or two hinges either with constrains or parenting? the translation could be then locked but the rotation on either X or Y could be allowed between 0 and 110° to allow the box to open. Also, by adding shape keys you could turn the box into a mimic and animate the opening as a mouth would be! (insert evil DM cackle here)

Thanks 😊

Thanks❤

there's an addon called Quick Snap, and makes snaping way easier, and without leaving object mode, you can also snap from vertex, edges, faces and points origins, really usefull

Use random colors on the solid view settings

Its only 'hard' if you do not have hotkeys for all the steps. Good concise video on the topic, though!

I didn't know you could do that, so I learned something. The audio sounds great. The more I learn Blender the more I feel like a subject of a dolly zoom, where I stay in the same place and the finish line that seemed so close extends out faraway. I may have crossed the 20% of effort for the 80% competence, now in the phase of spending 80% more effort for the last 20% of competence...

Thank you for sharing tips and tricks. But to change objects origin just for snapping sounds ridiculous to me. Old good XSI had way more elegant solution for such situations.
