To move all objects in the currently selected animation set, place the mouse over the square at the
end of the desired axis. When the cursor changes to , drag the square on the screen to
increase/decrease the translation along that axis.
To move the objects along several axes at the same time, drag the square frame between the
desired axes.
Dragging the yellow square in the middle of the translation tool enables you to snap this center point
to other geometry in the model.
Note:
You can adjust snapping to increase your precision.
To move the translation tool itself rather than the actual animation set, hold down the CTRL key while
dragging the square at the end of the desired axis.
To snap the tool to other objects, hold down the CTRL key while dragging the yellow square in the
middle of the tool.
For the point-to-point translation, hold down the CTRL key, and use the center square to drag the
tool to the start point. Then, with CTRL released, drag the square again to move the object to the end
point.
