# Snapping modes

Each **Construction Mod** has some **Snapping Mods**. The snapping mod receives the **position of the mouse**, processes it in a special way and sends the location to the construction mod.

For example, change the location of the mouse cursor on the **Grid**, or find the closest **Vertex** next to the mouse cursor.

Snapping modes also allow you to select the **Axis** along which the position changes. (Press ***X/Y/Z +- Shift***)

## Base Mode

A **basic mod** that does not change the position of the mouse in any way. It is used when you want to change Assets **by hand**, for example.

All other mods will **inherit it**. And it is in it that the axis selection functionality is **implemented**.

When the **Snapping Mod** is activated, it updates the **"Locked Root Point"** (yellow dot on the scene). It shows the past position of the assets.

 You can then select the **desired axis** to move the asset more conveniently.

## Grid Mode

Press ***G*** to activate if the **Building Mod** supports it.

Change the position of the assets on the **grid**. Its size is equal to the size of the **"Editor Grid Size"**.

Change the position of the assets by the **Vertex** closest to the **Mouse Cursor**.
