Selection Picker

Use the Selection Picker to move a movable object to a desired position.

Enable Selection Picker

• Select the Selection picker icon button in the 3D View toolbar.

When a movable object is selected, a pin icon will appear following the mouse cursor. The user can place the object by clicking anywhere in the scene while the pin location icon is visible.

Offset modes

There are two offset modes used to place the object.

• Bounding Box based — The object will be placed on the pointed surface without penetrating it.

• None — Without calculating any offset, the object will be placed exactly where you are pointing.

For more information, see Area Selection.

Warning: The Bounding Box does not guarantee a precise offset, as geometries can vary in type. You may still need to manually adjust the object's position to find the exact desired placement.
