Snapping to align

Hi. You seem to be snapping and aligning vertices and faces just by moving them, although the snapping option is disabled. How do I do that? Does it happen automatically?

    Hey Jason, you can temporarily enable snapping by holding down Ctrl. It's super useful!

    Thanks for your reply. Yes it is really helpful :). Just one more question, it seems to snap to grid points, is that the only thing it can snap to or can it also actually align with other vertices?

    It sure can! My modeling bootcamp (I'd recommend the whole thing if you're stuck on any of the modeling parts of this course) has a lesson all about that: https://cgcookie.com/lesson/units-and-snapping
