Move Objects in 3D

The number of items to be moved is displayed. If more items need to be moved, use the Pick Objects button.

The starting point is defined in the Move From area, and the ending point is defined in the Move To area. The coordinates can be entered or a point can be picked. All picked points are projected down into the view’s construction plane.

The Pick Translation Axis can be used to define the starting and ending points. Once the button is pushed, you make a temporary line segment: the endpoints of that segment are the start and end points of the move.

The Number of Copies allows you to make additional copies of the objects, each separated by the move vector. For example, a point at the origin is moved from (0,0,0) to (5,0,0) with three copies. The result is four points at (0,0,0), (5,0,0), (10,0,0), and (15,0,0). The original point is unaffected, and the other points were copied using the movement vector.
