MAN70628 REV A 2.4 Change Position Pressing the Move Button will open following sub menu Once the Position tab is open, hold the left mouse button on the object and move the mouse to move the object freely in the X-Y plane. If the Shift key is held down, the object will be moved up and down along the Z-axis instead. The activated object can also be moved by inputting X/Y/Z values in the field, press Enter to apply changes. Bring active part in contact with platform.
2.5 Change Orientation Press the Rotate Button on the main tools will open following sub menu. Once the Rotation tab is open, hold the left mouse button on the object and move the mouse to freely rotate the object around the X- or Y-axis in Unlock XY, and around the Z-axis in Lock XY. The activated object can also be rotated by inputting X/Y/Z values in the field. Press Enter to apply changes. Press ‘To Align Bottom Plane’ button to align the selected plane to the bottom of build platform.
MAN70628 REV A 2.6 Change Size Press the Size Button on the main tools will open following sub menu. Once the Size tab is open, the activated object can be scaled freely by holding the left mouse button on the object and moving the mouse.

And in Non-uniform Scaling mode it will scale for each axis without affecting the other axes.
Tips: Change object’s size will break generated supports. Note that Change size by modify scale value do not support multi-select. 2.7 Generate Supports Most models need additional support structures to print successfully, especially those with overhangs. Press the Supports Button on the main tools to open the Supports sub menu. Once the Supports tab is open, supports can be added to the active object by pressing the Generate button.
