Set Snap Base

Snap Base is taken automatically depending on the :ref:`Snap Base <bpy.types.ToolSettings.snap_target>` options.
However, this automatic snap detection point of origin is not always what the user desires.
Therefore, transform operations have a utility to set a new snap origin point during the transformation.

Could add some explanation about how this Set Snap Base command actually works, because right now, it's rather minimal and the note kind of comes out of nowhere. (The section is about setting the Snap Base, so why is there suddenly a note about the Snap Target?)

The first snap target which the note refers to is called "Vertex" in the UI, not "Vert." Also, are you sure that Edge Perpendicular is used? I tried it but couldn't confirm.

If only Snap to Increment is enabled as :ref:`Snap Target <bpy.types.ToolSettings.snap_elements_base>`,
the targets `Vert`, `Edge`, `Face`, `Edge Center`, `Edge Perpendicular` will be used instead.
