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.
- 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.
