Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

How do you snap a vertex selection by a specific vertex?
In 3ds Max I would make selection, then use Enable Axis Constraints so I can choose which axis (or 2) to constrain to, then basically pick a vertex to be the pivot point for all the other vertices to follow.
This is an incredibly handy technique for accurate hard surface modeling and everytime I try to move a selection in Maya I can only do it by the gizmo. Unless do I have to move the pivot first somehow?

If you hold down V it does snap to vertex, hold down X does snap to grid line.
Hope that helps.

So If I select a bunch of vertices, it will snap to the centre point of the selection, but I want to change this point to be on a specific vertex in my selection.
