Please, how do I Extrude/Cut up to selected face instead of measuring?

Not sure what you mean. Can you give an example photo/movie?

I think Do.B means snapping an extrusion to a surface.

But what about when making axial move’s ?

In F360, if you drag a solid on one axis then select a face of another solid on the same axis, it will drag the components up to the selected face. So you don’t have to measure and do math.

Wow, I just learned something! I would have thought that the command should be called “extend to face” or something like that… but I’ll get used to “replace face”. (Maybe!!!)

this isn’t related to axial move’s
I agree on your point!

For an axial move, there is no snapping to faces. You can only drag the arrows or type in a number…

This is what I mean by Axial snapping move’s.
For the moment Translate feature isn’t cooperating well for me. Cannot find midpoint.

I have emailed about midpoints.
The great dev. team are working on it.

Didn’t had issue with midpoint on circle.
Translate isn’t helping in every situation.
Mostly you have to measure and do math.

Sometimes you have to recognize when you’ve done something wrong.
Your example didn’t work in my video. 😉

Hey, can you consider opening your mind?
There isn’t such a thing as two or more people living the exact same experience.
You could have ask for another video instead of being pessimistic

@Do.B Macher is using the Align tool, not the translate tool in thisexample. Usign the Align tool you can achieve what you need.

You need to select the edges to be aligned not the faces.
