# 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

You can choose which axes snapping applies to. 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.

### 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.openbrush.app/user-guide/using-the-open-brush-tools-quick-tools-and-menu-panels/extras-panel/snap-settings-panel.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
