I either am using the wrong tool option or something is broken because I can’t get the Tube points to snap to surface at all? When I turn on snap and try and move a point to a surface it will pass through the surface and float in space? I just want to align a curve/spline so the tube is straight vertically…

Also activate snap once you lay down your curve

Seems like that should be the opposite? 0 for no snapping 100% for snapping

The % is the amount of offset you’re adding to the snap. Setting it to 0 and it snapping right on the part would be correct and makes sense.

If setting it to 0 turned it off, then turning the button on/off would be redundant and not needed.
