Pivoting an Edge

  1. Select the Pull tool in the Edit group on the Design tab.
    The Select tool guide is enabled by default.
  2. Select the edge or edges you want to pivot. Double-click to select a tangent chain or edge loop.
  3. Select the Pivot Edge option in the Options panel, or from the mini-toolbar.
    The Pull arrow changes to show the two directions in which you can move the edge to pivot the connected faces. One arrow is highlighted to show the primary direction.
  4. If the arrow pointing in the direction you want to pull is not highlighted, click the arrow or press Tab.
  5. Drag the edge in the direction of the Pull arrow.
    During the pull, the distance you have moved the edge is displayed. You can dimension the distance in Section and 3D mode, and dimension the angle in Section mode.
    You can hold Shift to snap to existing geometry.
