Hello,

I wanted to bend a flat item, but since that is not possible I decided to cut it into two pieces and rotate one of the parts.

So far so good, but I don’t know how I can move the rotated item back in place to reconnect the two Items.

In sketchup this is done by selecting a point of item A and move the whole thing to a point in item B. How can I achieve a perfect fit in shapr3d?

Is there a way to make items snap when moving?

Thx.

I would use the Align tool for that.

Use the Translate tool.
