Just make sure you download version 0.41. The script was created by an user from the Blenderartists forums called Seminumerical, and is fully compatible with Blender 2.56a.

How about get some extra controls for the 3D cursor, like the ability to: With the cursor tool enabled, using LMB in the 3D Viewport will place the 3D cursor directly under your mouse pointer. This is one of that features that we can only find in Blender, which can be annoying for users migrating from softwares like 3dsmax or Maya, but we can`t live without after getting used to work with it.
#Blender cursor to center full
The Add-on is called Cursor Control and with the tool we can have full control over the position of the 3D Cursor. To get start I will recommend a new Add-on for Blender 2.56a that I found this morning, and from my point of view, this is a must have for anyone using Blender for modeling. Voila! The selected cube moves and its point of origin “fits with a snap” into the cursor.Full control of the 3D Cursor for precision modelingīack from the holidays after a break from the blog, we are back with a lot of news for architectural visualization artists using Blender. This time we are doing the opposite, we are moving a selection, which is the whole cube (as we are in Object mode), to the cursor, which we left sitting at the vertex of the cube on the right. Please note: Previously we were moving the cursor to a selection, which was a vertex (we were in Edit mode, to be able to access individual vertices). Right click the cube on the left to select it. Now all is set and we are ready to move the cube on the left and snap it to the cube on the right. Right click to select the vertex which we will be snapping to. Now right click on the other cube to select it. “The origin” of the object, the little orange dot-ball, moves to the vertex. (You must be in Object mode to do this or you will get an error message) Hit Ctrl+Shift+Alt+C -> “Origin to 3D Cursor”. Hit Tab to Exit Edit mode and return to the Object mode. I did some searching, and everywhere i go, people says that i can use shift+C to center the viewpoint cursor to (0, 0, 0) and simply the C key to. I find it easier to manipulate the view, when i’m orbiting the view around the center of whatever im looking at, rather than some point in front or behind it. Obviously, the strategic placement of the cursor in this context means placing it at the corner of the box to snap to.Ĭlick right on the cube on the left to select it. Hi, just starting with blender and I’m having some issues navigating the viewport. The basic idea is that we strategically place the cursor somewhere at the scene, and then tell Blender to move the object so that its point of origin coincides with the cursor.

We say move, select one box, choose as the point of reference intersection at a corner, then move the box with object snap to the intersection at a corner of another box.īasically we are playing with two elements here: Situation: We have an object (a cube) which we want to move and stick it precisely to a particular point at another object (another cube).ĪutoCAD analogue: We have two boxes.
