Cursor To Cylinder Intersection

Bracer Jack in Modeling


Unlock pinpoint precision with this specialized add-on that moves your 3D cursor to the precise intersection of two selected cylindrical objects. When their central axes don't cross, the add-on intelligently places the cursor at the closest theoretical intersection point.

This tool was initially crafted to solve a specific challenge: accurately locating bone joints within scanned 3D body data, ensuring exact connection points without any arbitrary estimations. While it addresses a particular need, its core functionality provides an invaluable solution for any task demanding accurate alignment or identification of relationship points between cylindrical structures. If you encounter situations where "good enough" isn't an option for intersecting or closely approaching cylindrical forms, this add-on offers the exact precision you're looking for.

[Use Cases & Benefits]

This add-on is invaluable for:

    Precise Assembly: Accurately placing connection points for mechanical parts or architectural elements.

    Rigging: Pinpointing bone joints within scanned 3D models or complex character rigs.

    Snapping Operations: Establishing exact pivot points for snapping other objects.

    Technical Modeling: Any scenario demanding high accuracy for aligning or relating cylindrical forms where "good enough" isn't an option.
