Can I 'snap' nodes when using Warp FX?

[Gemini80]

As the subject title says, Can I 'snap' nodes when using Warp FX?

I think the perspective tool warping functions are great but I would like to snap nodes to the grid for some applications but I have not figured out how to do this in conjunction with the Warp FX?

All tips would be great! Thanks for any and all help!

As far as I am aware there is no way to snap to a grid at this present time.

Thanks for your reply! I know about 'option' clicking nodes - but I am having difficulty selecting only the outer nodes - is there a way to do this!? Thanks!

Hold down the Alt/Option key while dragging is supposed to work.

This works for windows, all the outer nodes will be selectable with 4 passes

• Using the Node Tool, drag a selection around the outer nodes, this will select the inner nodes too 
• Now hold down CTRL and drag a selection around the inner nodes, this will deselect the inner nodes

Alt/Option activates the Lasso selection, the way to do use the lasso selection in this instance is to draw a lasso around the outer node in a clockwise direction; this selects the inner nodes too,  and while still holding the Alt/Option key down move the cursor inside the outer nodes circle and drag the cursor around the inner nodes in an anti-clockwise direction, you'll see what happens if you manage to get my instructions right.

No idea if this would work in the Windows versions, but in the Mac versions, holding down the Control key subtracts nodes from the selection, so one way to do this fairly quickly is to use CMD+A to select all the nodes, then hold down both the Control & Alt/Option key to drag a lasso around only the inner nodes to remove them from the selection.
