Title: [Fixed] snapping doesn't work through transparent objects
Post by: ghib on September 25, 2011, 10:28:24 am
Like the title says snapping doesn't work on objects that are within or behind objects that have been made transparent or wireframe etc. 

e.g. I have created an object that has cubes placed at ever joint pivot point on a rig.  I selected the arm polys and tried to snap the gizmo to the shoulder cube mesh pivot but the snapping method in VW doesn't recognise it.

Expected result:
Snapping should work through transparent or wireframe objects.  Logically, if I can see it so should the snapping.

Ok, I'll fix it. At the mean time, I think you can use this, Rendering > Cull FrontFacing.

Thanks Istonia, I didn't think to use cull front facing, seems so obvious now.  I was zooming right inside the mesh until the camera clipping revealed the underlying cube.  I'm such a numpty sometimes.
