    • Snap (F9): turns the SNAP option on and off.

    • Step X: sets the step in X direction of the grid for the SNAP option.

    • Step Y: sets the step in Y direction of the grid for the SNAP option.

    • Grid (F7): turns the display of the grid on and off.

    • Step X: sets the step in X directions for the grid option.

    • Step Y: sets the step in Y directions for the grid option.

Object snap

  • Select the options of the OSNAP that are activated by default.

    • Object snap (F3): enables/disables the object snap.

    • Node: locates the points.

    • Extreme: locates the endpoints of the entities.

    • Med point: locates the middle point of entities.

    • Center: locates the center of an arc or circle.

    • Intersection: locates the point of intersection between 2 elements.

    • Perpendicular: locates the perpendicular point on a specific entity.

    • Tangent: locates the point tangent on a specific entity.

    • Nearest: locates the nearest point on a specific entity.

    • Surface: finds a reference surface to use to calculate the element elevation.

    • Orthophoto solid (3D): calculates the element elevation over the solid orthophoto.

    • Select all: turns on all the object snaps.

    • Clear all: turns off all the object snaps.

Point Cloud

  • Select the options of the OSNAP that are activated by default when working on a point cloud.

    • Nearest: snaps the cursor to the nearest point in the click position on a point cloud.

    • Lowest: snaps the cursor to the lowest point in the click position on a point cloud.

    • Perendicular plane: snaps the cursor on a plane identified on the point cloud and perpendicular to previous point.

    • Average: calculates a buffer around the cursor position and snaps the cursor to the midpoint on a point cloud.

    • Highest: calculates a buffer around the cursor position and snaps the cursor to the highest point located on a point cloud.

    • Pipe center: snaps the cursor in the center of a cylinder identified on the point cloud.

    • Selection radius (pixels): the selection radius of the snap on point cloud.

    • Magnifier (F4): activates a magnifying window that acts within a set radius to select precisely points on a point cloud.

    • Selection radius: the selection radius of the Magnifier.

    • Section depth: the section depth of the Magnifier.

Ortho and polar

  • Select the options for Ortho, Polar tracking and Object snap tracking.

    • Ortho (F8): changes the drawing of orthogonal lines.

    • Polar tracking (F10): activates/deactivates the creation of line and polylines using polar coordinates.

    • Polar angle: the interval for the polar tracking.

    • Snap tracking (F11): activates/deactivates the possibility to define locations by using existing points or objects as reference. (OSNAP).
