Different way for finding the commands :

  • Part of the front

  • Command part, to write it

  • Icon taps

  • Different Views on the surface:

Grid Snap = the point try to be fix on the grid

Ortho = Vertical and Horizontal if I use a line example, but its possible to active Ortho directly with MAJ SHIFT

Object Snap = In rhino 7 mac we have to open by the command or in opening a windows. The object snaps constrain the marker to an exact location on an object.
