Move

Move the part on the build plate with precise control, or in a freehand manner.

To rotate a part precisely on an axis

  1. Set the rotation angle value in degrees.
  2. Set the axis to X, Y, or Z.
  3. Click Rotate part.

    The part snaps to the rotated position.

To freehand move a part

  1. Click the part, hold the mouse button down, and move the part freely about the centroid, which appears as a dot in the centre of the part.
  2. Release the mouse button when the part is correctly oriented.

You can move the center of rotation by changing the X, Y, and Z values for Rotation center.

To move a part without rotation

This is useful if you want to position multiple parts on a build plate.

  1. Center-click the part, hold the mouse button down, and move the part to the new location.
  2. Release the mouse button.
