How to snap vertices to same height.

See picture enclosed, how would I snap these vertices to match the height of the taller one? I’ve always wanted to do this for different models.

Few ways you can do this.

  1. Select all the 4 vertices and press S > Z > 0 (zero). This will scale all the 4 vertices to the same height with respect to the center of all four vertices. So if you had like 2 vertices above a horizontal line and 2 vertices below it, this will scale all the 4 vertices to meet on the horizontal line (just an example).

  2. The other way is to press the “N” key and then read the Z location of the vertex you want to snap to. Once you know the Z value, you can assign that value individually to the three separate vertext. You need to be in edit mode to read the X, Y or Z values of vertices and the vertices needs to be selected.

This is a slower but more accurate process.

  1. Sometimes, holding Ctrl and moving your vertices around will constrain them to the grid units and might help with aligning.

  1. snap the 3d Cursor to to the top vertex. (shift-s -> cursor to selection)
  2. set pivot point to cursor (period key)
  3. s -> z -> 0 -> enter
