You can move solids and surfaces with the Select tool.
To move a solid or surface
You can do any of the following:
-
Select a vertex of a solid or surface, then drag it to move the solid or surface. (Surfaces on the same plane are treated as a single surface and move together.)
-
Alt+click a point, then drag the vertex to rotate in the plane of the screen.
-
Alt+click an edge or two points, then drag the vertex to rotate the object around the axis defined by the line or points.
-
You can place the dragged vertex on a plane or edge by dragging until the plane or edge is highlighted.
You cannot drag unfolded sheet metal parts in the Unfolded window by dragging their vertices with the Select tool.
Examples
The blue edge was selected using the Alt key, then the green vertex was dragged in the direction of the arrow. The part pivots around the blue edge.
The vertex highlighted in green was dragged down until the face shown on the right was highlighted. The triangular part moves down so the vertex is in the same plane as the face.
