Align vertices and objects with perfect precision
Snap to Custom Grid is a lightweight and
efficient Blender addon that allows you to align vertices or object
origins to the nearest point of a customizable grid.
Perfect for
technical modeling, architecture, hard surface design,
or any workflow where clean geometry and accuracy
are essential.
With just one click, you can snap your entire mesh or selected objects to a grid of any size, ensuring flawless alignment along the X, Y, and Z axes.
⚙️ Main Features
-
🔹 Dual Mode:
Edit Mode: snap selected vertices.
Object Mode: snap the origins of selected objects.
🔹 Axis Toggles: choose which axes (X, Y, Z) to include in the snapping process.
🔹 Custom Grid Size: define your own grid spacing to match your scene scale or workflow.
🔹 Simple and Accessible UI: easily found in the 3D Viewport’s sidebar (N panel) under the “Snap Grid” tab.
🔹 Undo Supported: all actions can be safely undone at any time.
🚀 How to Use

🧱 Example
A vertex located at X = 4.99 with a
grid size of 1.00 will automatically
snap to X = 5.00.
Result: perfectly
aligned geometry, no rounding errors or subtle offsets.
