About Using Object Snaps in 3D
Object snaps function the same way in 3D as they do in 2D with the exception that
they can optionally be projected.
By default, the Z-value of an object snap location is determined by the object’s 3D location. However,
if you work with object snaps on the plan or top view of a 3D model, a constant Z-value is more useful.
If you turn on the OSNAPZ system variable, all object snaps are projected onto the
XY plane of the current UCS or, if ELEV is set to a non-zero value, onto a plane parallel
to XY plane at the specified elevation.
NOTE:When you create or modify objects, make sure that you know whether OSNAPZ is turned
on or off. There is no visual reminder, and you can get unexpected results.
