Hey there peeps, long time no see... hopefully there is still someone around Smile

Anyways, i felt rusty and started to do some simple arches:



Then started to block and extrude around and this is the result:



It's not finished yet, i'll try to add another layer on top. God i wish deled had a "Snap Vertex to Grid" feature, it would make seamless meshes a breeze.

Anyways, tell me what you think Wink

Good to see you back! Very Happy And your models look good as always. Are you going to texture them?

About the snapping: how 'bout selecting the vertices you want to snap and then press F11?

Thanks for the feedback. F11 does not seem to do anything for me. The way i do it now is i'm extruding Edges, switch to Vertex mode and use "Average" and then align it by hand (using locked constraints). It is very time-consuming but i like my geometry clean.

Edit: I just checked, F11 works well with cubes and rectangles, however, my arches are made of cylinders, which are not snap-able to begin with, so with any user-defined shapes and some built-in items it won't work which is a shame really. Vertex / Grid alignment would be a feature i would die for.

Click on the "Object" tab on the right hand side. You'll see a property called "Snap Method". Change this to "Vertex".
