Hello,
I would like to know if it’s possible to set a value to a multiple vertex selection.
Exemple : I have 15 vertex selected with different values on z axis.
I want to set all vertex to -100mm for exemple (in one action).

ok, let me try, from what i have been learning, you first select them all at once “vertices” align them in either “x” “y” or z” axis to first get them all in a straight line with the same value then using the move transform type in dialogue box you type in how far and in what axis you move the vertices all at once. this might be of some help my friend. good luck.

Unfortunately there is no built-in function, however this can be done in only a few short steps as shown below.

1. Create a point-helper where you want to position your line i.e 100m
2. Select a middle vert and with the Soft Selection set to a high value, scale vertically
3. Select all verices and snap the end vert to your helper.
