The reason I want to use custom volume snapping is because I'd like to avoid using transform operator since it interferes with the modal. That way I can just have it run as a handler. I just want the empty that is being snapped to the volume to 'track to'(like the constraints) towards the mouse cursor. Instead of having that empty's rotation just be static. | |

Your example shows snapping to a surface, so this functionality is already in transform operators. You can enable snapping, set it to surface and then hit g and it's done. You can make a model operator set it up for snapping then actually use transform operator and then set the snapping settings to what they were before at the end of the operation. media.giphy.com/media/fSY5sJsuZRgtBjZgxe/source.gif | |
