Maya mini-tip: Snap Together Tool

Recently I've discovered a tool that I havn't looked into before. It's called the Snap Together Tool, and can be found under the Modify Menu.

Basically, it's a tool for placing objects in a scene. It works like this:

• Activate the tool
• Click on the object you want to move. Be careful to click at the surface that you want fix to the other object. For instance, if you want to place an object on the floor, click on the underside of the object.
  
• Click on the object where you want to place the object.
  
• The first object will jump to where you clicked, making the first point/surface connect to the second point.

This is very handy when placing things on surfaces, and is very fast. See the included video for a quick demo:
