Replace the Snap method with this to add support for RecTransforms (UI)

private void Snap()
    {
        foreach ( var transform in Selection.transforms )
        {
            RectTransform rectTrans = transform.transform as RectTransform;
            if (rectTrans) {
                var pos = rectTrans.anchoredPosition;
                pos.x = Round(pos.x);
                pos.y = Round(pos.y);
                rectTrans.anchoredPosition = pos;
                var size = rectTrans.sizeDelta;
                size.x = Round(size.x);
                size.y = Round(size.y);
                rectTrans.sizeDelta = size;
            }
            else {
                var t = transform.transform.position;
                t.x = Round( t.x );
                t.y = Round( t.y );
                t.z = Round( t.z );
                transform.transform.position = t;
            }
        }
    }
