Move

Move moves the selection one step per tap. Pick sets the selection kind (Faces, Rings, or Corners). Direction sets the way it moves (Side, Front, Up, or Out for faces). The buttons are on the Steps card on the left side of the screen. Move is under Position on the Adjust tab.

Set the step size with Small, Medium, or Big on the Steps card. Press and hold a button to keep moving. When Mirror is on, the matching side moves too.

Faces

Direction sets the way faces move:

• Side, Front, and Up: The buttons follow the world’s directions (Left and Right, Back and Forward, or Down and Up). The whole selection moves together and keeps its shape.
• Out: The buttons follow the way each face points (In and Out). Out moves faces outward, the way each one points; In moves them inward. It changes the faces you have without adding new ones. Each face moves on its own: selecting faces side by side that point different ways moves each one its own way, stretching their shared edges on a slant. Selecting all faces of a cube makes the whole cube bigger evenly.

Rings

Set the direction to Side, Front, or Up, then move it. The ring stays the same size and shape while the faces beside it stretch to follow, and its tilt stays as it moves. Moving a ring around the edge of a flat face (e.g., a cylinder cap) moves the whole flat face with it. Several selected rings move as one group. A step that would fold the ring’s edge to nothing is refused (Can’t move it there: it would fold). See Grab & Let go .

Corners

Set the direction to Side, Front, or Up, then move it. The selected corners move together. Corners you did not select stay in place.

Limits

A move cannot make a part pass through itself or go past the edge of the workspace. If a move would fold a surface or go past the edge, it is stopped and a message shows; faces, and a single corner, stop at the edge instead. Stopped moves are not counted on the Steps card.
