What are SNAPs used for?

• A. Snap to grid
• B. Restrict movement
• C. Snap to points
• D. Snap to bounding boxes

Answer: (B)

SNAPs exist to constrain where you can place or move something, so you land on exact positions rather than moving freely. When snapping is on, the cursor or the point you’re moving is forced to align with predefined locations—like grid intersections, vertices, or the extents of an object. This restriction to precise spots makes it possible to position and align elements accurately and consistently across the model. The specific snapping modes (grid, points, bounding boxes) are examples of where the constraint can apply, but the fundamental idea is the restriction of movement to exact, intended locations.
