TIP - How to rest an object precisely on the Grid.

Hello guys,

While playing around a little with Manipulators today I found this handy tecnique to rest an object on the grid.
Thought I´d share it with you.
  • Select the object.
  • Press the W key (shortcut for Move Tool).
  • Press the Insert key (turns on Pivot edit mode).
  • Press and hold down the V key (shortcut for Point Snap), move the Pivot center to the lowest point of your model, once it snaps into place, drop it and release the V key.
  • Press the Insert key (turns off Pivot edit mode).
  • Press and hold down the X key (shortcut for Grid Snap), move the object upwards using the Y handle, once it snaps into place, drop it and release the X key.
  • Go to Modify > Center Pivot
Cheers,
