Height Snap STEPModel

Parent process: PCB:SnapSTEPModel

Applied parameters: SnapType=VertexHeight

Summary

This command repositions the STEP model so that the selected 3D body edge is aligned with the surface of the board or set to a custom height.

Once this command is executed, left-click on the STEP model you want to move - the cursor changes into the 3D positional cursor (blue, six-pointed) and will snap to the nearest vertex. Position the cursor so that it is aligned with your chosen edge then left-click. The Choose 3D Body Height dialog opens, where you choose between aligning the chosen edge with the relevant board surface (top or bottom side) or to a value you enter. When you click OK to confirm the setting in that dialog and close it, the STEP model is accordingly repositioned vertically.
