FAQ
Why I made it
I kept missing Maya's Snap Together Tool in Blender, so I built my own for my scene work and kept adding what I needed. I'm sharing it in case it helps someone else.
It's early in development, so expect rough edges. Feedback is very welcome: bugs, ideas, anything. Leave a comment or message me here. Martin
