Moving Objects#
Gizmo Drag (Direct Manipulation)#
Click an object to select it. Three colored arrows appear at its center:
- Red arrow (X axis) — drag to move left/right
- Green arrow (Y axis) — drag to move up/down
- Blue arrow (Z axis) — drag to move forward/back
Drag an arrow to move the object along that axis. The movement is constrained to a single axis for precision.
Cancel a Drag#
Press Escape while dragging to cancel. The object snaps back to its position before the drag started.
Commit#
When you release the mouse button, the translation is committed to the undo history. You can undo it with Ctrl+Z.
Panel Transform#
You can also enter exact translation values in the Transform section of the tool panel:
- Enter dx, dy, dz values
- Click Move Selected
The object moves relative to its current position.
Camera During Drag#
Camera rotation is automatically disabled while dragging a gizmo arrow, so you can drag precisely without accidentally rotating the view.
