Exception	Description
System.ArgumentNullException	Thrown when param is `null` value. Check exception message for more info.
Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.SnappingFailedException	Thrown when operation failed. Check exception message for more info.

Remarks

Snapping means that the position and/or orientation of the associated placement will change, so that this mate fits to the target mate. Usually after the snapping, Placement3D becomes a child of the 'owner' of a target mate. There are however exceptions. For example when placing a component on a mounting point (like RP16) and in the same position there is a mounting surface, then component is arranged hierarchically below the mounting surface. If there is no mounting surface, then the component is arranged under cabinet.
