Manipulating Object Attributes During Object Animation
You can temporarily modify position, rotation, size, and appearance of
geometry objects for animation purposes. These changes are not global, and
can only be saved (or captured) as animation keyframes.
Transform Objects
To transform objects, you can use three visual manipulation tools, or gizmos,
available from the Item Tools tab ➤ Transform panel. You can also transform
objects numerically.
To get a clearer view of objects as you manipulate them, you can use the
Options Editor to adjust the way in which the current selection is
highlighted. For more information, see
Set Highlighting Method (page 346).
Using Measure Tools to Transform Objects
You can use the
Measure Tools (page 391) functionality to move and rotate the
currently selected objects.
To move an object with gizmo
1 Select the object you want to move in the Scene View.
2 Click Item Tools tab ➤ Transform panel ➤ Move
.
3 Use the move gizmo to adjust the position of the currently selected
object:
■ To move all currently selected objects, place the mouse over the arrow
at the end of the desired axis. When the cursor changes to , drag
the arrow 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 ball in the middle of the move gizmo enables you to
snap this center point to other geometry in the model.
