Moving the position of an object across multiple steps can create a realistic reflection of how your models behave and are utilized in the real world. You can edit the position of objects, sub-objects, or a custom group of objects.
Moving object position
The Move Tool {icon-move.svg} is located on the Toolbar and can be used to move your objects in 3D.
To move your selected object horizontally you need to drag the X-axis (red), vertically drag the Y-axis (green), and for depth drag the Z-axis (blue).
Editing object properties
You can edit the exact x,y, or z position properties of an object in the object property panel.
Position properties are in the metric scale, to millimeter detail.
- 1 meter = 1.000
- 1 centimeter = 0.01
- 1 millimeter = 0.001
