Move Form

The Move form offers two options: free translation and snap to point. This allows one- to three-dimensional translation through free drag or point-to-point snapping.

Select the geometry you want to move and the name of the geometry will appear in the context specific toolbar with the available commands. Select Move, and the options to use Free or Snap translation mode will appear.

  • Translation Mode: Free

    For Free, when you hover the mouse over a vector of the trihedron axis, that dimension will be highlighted. Selecting X, Y, or Z vectors will offer one dimensional displacement. Selecting the hypoteneuse between any of these vectors will enable free range three-dimensional displacement.

  • Translation Mode: Snap

    For Snap, a selection of blue snap points will appear. First select the snap point on the object you would like to move, then select the snap point on the location where you would like to move your object. A yellow frame of the object will appear on the desired destination. Select OK to complete the translation.
