Move, Rotate, and Scale Subobjects on Composite Solids
When you modify composite solids, the effect of the edits depends on the
current setting of the History property.
■ To modify subobjects of each history component separately, the History
property must be set to Record (On).
■ To modify subobjects of the combined composite solid as a whole, the
History property must be set to None (Off).
Rules and Limitations When Moving, Rotating, and Scaling Subobjects
You can only move, rotate, and scale subobjects on 3D solids if the operation
maintains the integrity of the solid. The following rules and limitations apply
to moving, rotating, and scaling subobjects:
■ When you use grips to modify subobjects, grips are not displayed on the
subobjects that cannot be moved, rotated, or scaled.
■ In most cases, you can move, rotate, and scale both planar and non-planar
faces.
■ You can only modify an edge that is a straight line and that has at least
one planar adjacent face. The planes of the adjacent planar faces are
adjusted to contain the modified edge.
■ You cannot move, rotate, or scale edges (or their vertices) that are imprinted
inside faces.
■ You can only modify a vertex if it has at least one planar adjacent face.
The planes of the adjacent planar faces are adjusted to contain the modified
vertex.
■ When you drag a subobject, the final result might be different than the
preview displayed during the modification. This result occurs when the
solid geometry is adjusted in order to maintain its topology. In some cases,
