GRIPSIZE
Sets the size of the grip box in pixels.
GRIPSUBOBJMODE
Controls whether grips are automatically made hot when subobjects are
selected.
Modify 3D Subobjects
Modify the shape of a 3D solid or surface by editing its subobjects (faces, edges,
and vertices).
Move, Rotate, and Scale 3D Subobjects
Move, rotate, and scale individual subobjects on 3D solids and surfaces.
Use the same methods to modify a face, edge, or vertex that you use to modify
the entire object:
■ Drag grips
■ Use gizmos (3DMOVE, 3DROTATE, and 3DSCALE)
■ Enter object editing commands (MOVE, ROTATE, and SCALE)
When you move, rotate, or scale a subobject, the subobject is modified in a
way that maintains the integrity of the 3D solid or surface. For example, when
you drag an edge to move it, the adjacent faces are adjusted so that they remain
adjacent to the edge.
Several results are possible when you modify a solid or surface. When you
move, rotate, or scale subobjects, you can press Ctrl one or more times as you
drag to cycle through modification options.
The following illustration shows the modification options for moving a face.
