Move Geometry Dialog Box

  • The dialog box is related to the function Move Base Feature.
  • The context-sensitive function is available with imported models.
  • The function does not remain in the model history tree, so if the part turned to an unwanted position, you can cancel the move with the function Undo or with the shortcut key Ctrl+Z.
  • You can also move the part again, but in this case the new history steps made to the part may detach from the geometry, so first turn the part to the desired position and make changes to it afterwards.
