Object moving

On this page, you can move, copy, rotate, shrink, and enlarge completed surfaces and objects.

• All changes will apply to the surface selected from the list.
  
  
• Multiple surfaces can be selected simultaneously by holding down the Shift or Ctrl key, following Windows rules.
  
  
• Changes primarily involve moving the points that define the surfaces.
  
  
  • It's crucial to note that if a symmetrical counterpart of a point belonging to a surface exists, it will also move. Additionally, if another surface is connected to that point, it may distort.
    
    

Moving

The selected surface will move in the direction of the arrows by the value entered in the center. The right-up icon moves it backward, while the left-down icon moves it forward.

Copy

After enabling the copy switch, a copy of the selected surface will be made in the chosen direction using the movement arrows.

• Standard symmetry options can be applied.
  
  
  • If the movement amount is set to 0, only the symmetrical copies will be made.
    
    
• Copying works with only one selected element.
  
  
• The new surface or surfaces will appear at the end of the list.
  
  
• For double-row surfaces (dragging, rotating body), the contour is also copied automatically.
  
  
  
  

Rotation

Similar to movement, surfaces can be rotated according to the icon illustrations.

• You can choose whether the rotation center is the spatial center of the surfaces or a selected point.
  
  
  
  

Shrink, enlargement

Here, you can choose between two icons to enlarge or shrink.

• You can select whether the size change is percentage-based or a fixed value. In the case of a fixed value, it indicates the change in the largest extent of the surface.
  
  
• You can select whether the center of the size change is the spatial center of the surfaces or a selected point.
  
  
• The dimensions of the size change can be selected.
  
  
• If all three are enabled, you get proportional enlargement or shrinkage.
  
  
  • For example, if only one is enabled, you can stretch the surfaces in that dimension.
