again, I have a quite strange problem: my cursor snaps to the wrong position when used with three vertices.



For testing purposes, I made an equilateral triangle:



erroneous snapping



As on the third figure, when all three vertices are selected, and I use Snap > Cursor to Selected, the cursors snaps out of center. on all other cases, snapping is correct. It snaps to the middle of two vertices, and to the center of four vertices, and blender correctly transforms the origin to the center of mass, if told to. Even more strange: If I reload factory settings, the snapping works as intended. So there must be some mysterious setting saved with the blend file. There are no double vertices or zero faces. I'm at a complete lost here. Please advise.

  • I have the same .I looks like it snaps to the bounding box center. But I cant figure out why. What kind of plugins you have installed? Maybe one is overwriting it.

It's stated pretty clearly in Blender manual, but if someone omits this source it'll be here:




The Cursor to Selected option is also affected by the current Pivot
Point. For example:



  • With the Bounding Box Center pivot point active, the Cursor to Selected option will snap the 3D cursor to the center of the bounding
    box surrounding the objects’ origins.

  • When the Median Point pivot point is selected, Cursor to Selected will snap the 3D cursor to the median of the object origins.

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of ...
