Move Vertex

  The Move Vertex option allows you to modify the location of a vertex. Select a vertex using the left mouse button, accept the selection by pressing the middle mouse button, and use the right mouse button to cancel the selection. After fixing the constraints, select the vertex to move.

Single Method

allows you to select a single vertex to be moved.

Multiple Method

allows you to select multiple vertices for movement.

Movement Constraints

allows you to constrain a vertex to moving in any direction.

Normal to Surf

allows you to move the vertex normal to the surface.

Move dependent

allows you to move dependent vertices.

There are different types of vertices/edges, and their movement is governed by their projection as shown in Figure 388: Different Types of Vertices and Edges.

Figure 388: Different Types of Vertices and Edges

Different Types of Vertices and Edges

White Edges/Vertices

These are between two material volumes. The edge and the associated vertices will be projected to the closest CAD surface between these material volumes. Vertices can only move on the surfaces.

Blue Edges/Vertices

These are in the volume. The blue vertices can be moved by selecting the edge just before it and can be dragged onto that edge.

Green Edges/Vertices

These edges and the associated vertices are being projected to curves. The vertices can only be moved on the curves that they are projected to.

Red Vertices

These cannot be moved, they are projected to fixed points. They can only be moved by first changing their projection to one of the other projection types.
