# Snap Settings Panel
The Snap Settings Panel provides controls for grid and angle snapping. For basic usage, see [Grid and Angle Snapping](/user-guide/grid-and-angle-snapping.md).
## Enhanced Snap Settings
The snap settings include several advanced features:
### Snap Axis Toggles
Position snapping and rotation snapping each have separate **X**, **Y** and **Z** toggles. Disabling an axis leaves that position or rotation component unsnapped. For example:
* Enable only Y-axis snapping to keep strokes at consistent heights while allowing free movement in X and Z
* Enable only X and Z to create a flat plane of snapped objects
* Enable all three axes for full 3D grid snapping
This is useful for creating rows, columns, or planes of duplicated objects while maintaining precise control over which dimensions are constrained.
Use the position-axis buttons with the grid interval and the rotation-axis buttons with the angle interval. Axis snapping is different from the [Transform Panel's axis locks](/user-guide/using-the-open-brush-tools-quick-tools-and-menu-panels/extras-panel/transform-panel.md): snapping rounds movement or rotation to increments, while a lock prevents that component from changing.
### Apply snapping to a selection
Snapping also works after objects have been placed. Select the strokes or media you want to adjust, then use the panel's position or rotation action to apply the current grid or angle settings to the selection. Position snapping respects the enabled position axes. Rotation snapping applies to widgets; brush strokes do not have an independent rotation to snap.
### Snap to Guides
When you have guides active in your scene, you can enable snapping to align selections and brush strokes to guide surfaces. This works with:
* Plane guides
* Sphere guides
* Line guides
* Mirror planes
This makes it easier to paint directly on guide surfaces or position imported models precisely on guides.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.openbrush.app/user-guide/using-the-open-brush-tools-quick-tools-and-menu-panels/extras-panel/snap-settings-panel.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
