Snap vertices of element

[svetlana]

Hello.

I'm trying Draggable and Snap functional but I see that transformed elements snap by original coordinates x, y instead of  transformed x, y. Can Draggable and Snap works with transformed x, y (vertices)?



Thanks

Hey svetlana and welcome to the GreenSock forums. Two things related to this:

1. We recommend always using GSAP to set the transforms of elements that you're animating with GSAP. Not doing so is one of the most common GSAP mistakes.
2. I would probably apply the transformation on elements that are not related to the snapping. So if you need to transform the container, create a wrapper element around it that you transform instead. If you need to transform the content (elements snapping), create an element that goes within the element that's getting snapped that you transform. 

Does that make sense?

Or you could use your own custom snapping function to run whatever logic you want in there. If necessary, you could use the MotionPathPlugin.convertCoordinates() to convert coordinates.

Thanks. MotionPathPlugin is amazing tool! I'll try it.
