Grid snapping not working in Perspective mode?

Support Basics & Interface
1

If I select my model, turn on Increment snapping and select ‘Absolute Grid’, then the object will only snap in an orthographic view and not in perspective. Any ideas how to fix this?

Hi,

I did as you said and it all works fine in my case

Have I done something wrong?

hi, thanks for the reply, so if you move your object in Perspective mode, you notice that it snaps to the grid then?

Yeah, it’s just moves with the step

ok thanks, I was using 3.3.1 and installed the latest version of blender and snapping works in perspective fine in 3.5.1. I wonder if there is a way to reset snap settings

Loading Factory Settings

File ‣ Defaults ‣ Load Factory Settings

This could help you

You can also reset your preferences by going to Edit ‣ Preferences, then click on the left bottom burger menu and select ‘Load Factory Preferences’ as shown on the screenshot below:

Yes you can do what goorman suggested. Just be aware that Loading Factory settings is resetting rougly spoken every blender setting you changed. You can also use Right Mouse button while hovering over an element and choose “Reset to default value” if its just about a couple settings you changed in the startup blend.

Thankyou both for your help…

It does seem like my snap settings are broken. I tried “Reset to default value” but that doesn’t work on snaps, so, the only thing that does work is resetting preferences or a new install.

Its a shame that all preferences are bundled together in one file, but I guess it would be a pain to separate them too. Thanks for your help anyway

They’re in different folders for each blender version, thus, you can export settings from one blender to another

A simple way to test would be to move your blender versions settings folder to another location and test. So you can be sure if that helps before you loose all your settings
