■ 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,

the modification is not possible because it changes the topology of the

solid too severely.

■ If the modification causes spline surfaces to be extended, the operation is

often unsuccessful.

■ You cannot move, rotate, or scale non-manifold edges (edges that are

shared by more than two faces) or non-manifold vertices. Also, if some

non-manifold edges or vertices are present near faces, edges, and vertices

that you modify, the operation might not be possible.
