'''What is the Snap-option?'''

When, in the graphical screen, the cursor comes near a known point and/or an edge, the cursor is automatically placed to this point. There is been snapped to this point.

In much known design programs this functionality is used. It lets you select an exact point.

A very convenient functionality by drawing or displacing a node and/or a beam.

Setting whether there needs to be snapped to the midpoint of a beam. A red rectangle is displayed when this point is found.
