Moving a Solid or Surface with the Select Tool

You can move solids and surfaces with the Select tool.

You can do any of the following:

  • Select a vertex of a solid or surface, then drag it to move the solid or surface. (Surfaces on the same plane are treated as a single surface and move together.)
  • Alt+click a point, then drag the vertex to rotate in the plane of the screen.
  • Alt+click an edge or two points, then drag the vertex to rotate the object around the axis defined by the line or points.
  • You can place the dragged vertex on a plane or edge by dragging until the plane or edge is highlighted.

You cannot drag unfolded sheet metal parts in the Unfolded window by dragging their vertices with the Select tool.
