Sometimes, highlighting objects simply by mouse-over may turn out to be rather bothersome especially in dense structures. In this case, you can turn off the "Snap to Object" mode. To do so, double click on the small window at the right end of the Status Bar, which reports the current state of object snap mode. This will cycle through the different objects snap mode. Continue double clicking until you get '''Obj. Snap: OFF'''. Double clicking one more time will lead to '''Obj. Snap: ON'''. You can also enable the '''Snap to Object''' mode using the keyboard shortcut '''O'''. The illustration below depicts several objects and their corresponding snap points.
Accessing all the available snap points of an object can be quite tricky. When the mouse hovers over an object, you can more easily access the hidden snap points (those associated with the hidden faces or edges or corners) by holding down the keyboard's '''{{key | Ctrl }} Key''' and positioning the mouse close to the desired point.
{{Note|Snap to object always has priority over snap to grid. In other words, the mouse jumps from a grid node point immediately to the closest object snap point.}}
