Moving Objects

 

Albion makes it easy to move objects. There are three ways to perform a move operation:

Select the objects to be moved. Hold the left mouse button down on one of the selected objects, and drag the cursor.

Select the objects to be moved. Click the MoveMove toolbar button or use select the main menu: Modify > Move to invoke the Move function.

If more than 1 object selected: Click on the grip in the center of the selection. A Move function is implicitly started with the base point at the grip location.

The Move function

The Move function requires a base point and a relative point. In certain instances the base point is implicit, such as when one invokes a Move function by dragging the selection.

To move an object an exact distance:

Select the objects to be moved.

Click the Move toolbar button.

For the Base Point, enter 0 (This will be interpreted as the position 0,0,0).

For the Move To point, enter the exact movement vector.
