Edit UVWs Dialog 879
When transforming with Rotate and Scale,
pressing CTRL+ALT wil l allow you to transform
the selection from the point of the mouse click,
instead of the selection center. The initial click
specifies the center of the transform.
Move—Lets you select and move sub-objects.
Flyout options are Move, Move Horizontal, and
Move Vertical. Press SHIFT to constrain the
movement to a single a xis.
Rotate—Lets you select and rotate sub-objects.
Scale—Lets you select and scale sub-objects.
Flyout options are Scale, Scale Horizontal, and
Scale Vertical.
Pressing SHIFT as you scale constrains the
transform to a single axis.
Fr ee form Mo d e—Lets you select and move,
rotate,orscalevertices,dependingonwhereyou
drag. Afteryoumakeaselection,theFreeform
gizmo appears as a rectangular bounding box
around the selected vertices. As you move the
cursor over the gizmo’s various elements and
inside the gizmo, the cursor’s appearance, and the
result of starting to drag in this lo cation, change:
•
Move—Position the cursor anywhere
inside the gizmo and then dr ag to move the
selection. To constrain movement to the
vertical or horizontal axis, depending on how
you begin dragging, press and hold SHIFT
before dragging.
•
Rotate—Positionthecursoroveragizmo
edge center point, and then drag to rotate the
selection about the pivot. As you drag, the
amount of rotation is shown in the center of the
gizmo.
CTRL+drag to rotate in five-degree increments;
ALT+drag to rotate in one-degree increments.
Freeform rotation respects the
angle snap (page
2–36)
status.
•
Scale—Position the cursor over a gizmo
corner and then drag to scale the selection. By
default, scaling is non-uniform; if you press
andholdCTRLbeforedragging,scalingis
uniform on the horizontal and vertic al a xes.
Press and hold SHIFT before dragging to
constrain scaling to the vertical or horizontal
axis, depending on how you begin dragging.
By default, scaling t akes place about the gizmo
center. If you’ve moved the pivot (see following
item), you can sca le about the transform center
instead by pressing and holding ALT before
dragging.
•
Move pivot—Position the cursor over the
pivot, a wireframe cross that appears by default
at the center of the gizmo. When this cursor
appears, drag to move the pivot. Rotation
always o ccurs about the pivot; scaling t a kes

before dragging.
Tip: By default, the pivot a lways resets to the
center of the gizmo when you make a new
selection. If you prefer to retain the offset
from selection to selection, you can toggle
this feature with t he Reset Pivot On Selection
command. This command is not available in
the editor interface by default; you must u se the
Customize User Interface dialog (page 3–836)
to add it.
If you CTRL+select one or more vertices outside
the gizmo, the g izmo expands to encompass the
entire selection.
Mirror—Mirrors selected vertices and flips
UVs. Flyout options are Mirror Ver tical, Mir ror
Horizontal, Flip Horizontal, and Flip Ver tical.
