Transform Model dialog

Use the Transform Model dialog to move, rotate, scale, or mirror a model. This is available from Edit > Transform on the individual model menu.

Model — Select the model to transform.

Activate Workplane — Select the workplane used for the transformation.

Relative Position — Use these options to move the model along the specified axis by the selected distance. Enter a value in the Distance field and then click , , or to move the model by the specified distance along the selected axis.

It converts this:

to this:

The example above has the toolpath moved in by a Distance of 200 mm. The move takes place relative to the origin of the workplane used to create the original toolpath.

Rotate — Use these options to rotate the model around the specified axis by the selected angle. Enter a rotation in the Angle field and then click , , or to rotate the model about the selected axis.

It converts this:

to this:

The example above has the toolpath rotated in by an Angle of 20. The rotation takes place around the origin of the workplane used to create the original model.

Scale— Use these options to scale the model around the specified axis by the specified factor. Enter a value in the Scale field and then click , , or to scale the model about the selected axis.

The scaling takes place around the active workplane. If no workplane is active then the scaling is along relevant axis of the global coordinate system.

Scaling the chamber model in by an Scale of 2 converts this:

to this:

Mirror in Plane — Click an option to mirror the model along the selected principal plane of the active workplane. If no workplane is active then the mirroring is about relevant plane of the global coordinate system.

Mirroring the chamber model about converts this:

to this:

Note: Click , , or to mirror the model and reverse all the surfaces.

Transform to Workplane — Click to move the model so that it is in the same place relative to the Active Workplane as it was to the World (global transform).

It converts this:

to this:

Transform to World — Click to move the model so that it is in the same place relative to the World (global transform) as it was to the Active Workplane.

It converts this:

to this:

The workplane is in the middle of the part and the global transform is in one corner.
