Straight to the point, clear explanation with "why" and "how" answers. Reminder at the end is also very goog idea. This is how all "tips and tricks" tutorials should looks like.

You have no idea the number of times I've needed this when building environments

[mateusonagi]

Funny how i was working on a model and forgot some basic tools, looked over youtube and got to your video. I recognized your voice instantly because of your blender course i bought on Udemy a couple years ago.

I would love to follow a tutorial of this space mine. Thank you for the great lessons, tips and tricks, Grant.

Easy to follow tutorial. Your pacing is fantastic, you narrate every step you take, and you speak clearly.
What's more, you are right to the point.
You have my subscription.

You just saved me a ton of time! I have about 20 individual symbols I need to place specifically on a sphere and was manually rotating and moving each one. Thank you!!!

Grant Abbitt I just wanted to say thank you because of you and a few other artist on Youtube I landed my first freelance gig. I have learned a lot from you all so thank you.

[dissonanceparadiddle]

That's a fantastic tip!

This will speed things up a ton for me for a handful of projects.

Thank you😊

This tutorial was a recommendation so thought I'd watch as I've recently decided to get back into 3D and use blender for the first time. This tutorial is actually in the perfect format. Explains what the goal is, why each option is necessary and the effect it has each step of the way. Got yourself a new subscriber

Concise, clear, and complete. Absolute amazing tutorial.
Bonus points for narration with an English accent.

Wow, I'm just getting around to adding rivets (yes I wanna model them not texture them) onto an aircraft I've build and this is just exactly what I wanted. thank you!

[thequestion]

just the fact that someone made a turorial for this trick is awesome, and being able to explain it so well in <3mins is fantastic

[beezelbuzzel]

I've been sculpting for about a month and you have been invaluable. The pilot character I'm working on has many repeating parts on her flight suit, so this will make things much easier. Thank you sir!

I followed soo many courses and tutorials and it baffles me that this Magnet/ snap feature isnt the first thing these courses/youtubers teach??? this feature is as basic as you can get and i will be using this to my advantage. thank you im subbing for giving me relevent information. Its easy to understand and find on the software but it seems to be ignored by others for some unkown reason.

[dmauleon]

Awesome tutorial. It would be great a tutorial about all the options you have in the snapping menu, to understand all the possibilities. Keep up with your awesome work!

[SewerTapes]

Holy crap, thank you!!! I gave up on the snapping earlier today because it wasn't working for the reasons you showed. I came up with an exhausting workaround involving way too many subdivisions, the tool to transform into a circle, and extrusions. I spent about three hours on something that would have taken minutes with this method, not to mention all the time this will save with texturing, since my thing won't all be one geometry now. Cheers.

I love you grant! bought your low poly bite sized courses on udemy and the advanced orc one. Thankyou for getting me interested in blender and having a new hobby that I spent countless hours of fun with. You are so handsome and smart, and I love your diastema, please don't change 🥰

[lostmarble]

I thought there was a way to do this using the snapping tool, but I could never figure it out on my own and I was too lazy to look it up. And now I get a video explaining exactly what I wanted. Laziness pays off again.

[greaterpainter]

Thank you for an easy and succinct tutorial. Hate it when someone makes a 10 min video about something that takes 1

[OviGomy]

This helps a lot. Thank you.
I always tried to align the objects manually.
