Move selection | Decker - 28 Feb 2001 | [ Top ]

Pressing this button, will move the selected objects, the distance in units specified in the 'Movement Configuration'.

Enlarge/Shrink selection | Decker - 28 Feb 2001 | [ Top ]

Pressing the first button, will enlarge your selection, with the zoom-factor amount, specified in the 'Movement Configuration'. Pressing the second button, will shrink your selection, with the zoom-factor amount.

Inflate/Deflate selection | Decker - 28 Feb 2001 | [ Top ]

Depending on the value in the 'Movement Configuration', this button will either inflate (make bigger), or deflate (make smaller) your selection by the specified units. If the inflate/deflate value is negative, the button will act as an deflate-button, and positive values will make it act as an inflate-button.

Mirror selection (Symmetry) | Decker - 28 Feb 2001 | [ Top ]

These buttons will mirror your selection, around its common center. To see the common center of your selected object(s), you must be able to see the 'Linear handle' of the selection. The icons from left to right: Z-symmetry . Mirror around the selection's common Z-axis. X-symmetry . Mirror around the selection's common X-axis. Y-symmetry . Mirror around the selection's common Y-axis.

Rotate selection | Decker - 28 Feb 2001 | [ Top ]

These buttons will rotate your selection, the amount of degrees specified in the 'Movement Configuration', around its common center. To see the common center of your selected object(s), you must be able to see the linear handles of the selection. The icons from left to right: Clockwise Z-axis rotation . Rotate clockwise around the selection's common Z-axis. Anticlockwise Z-axis rotation . Rotate anticlockwise around the selection's common Z-axis. Clockwise X-axis rotation . Rotate clockwise around the selection's common X-axis. Anticlockwise X-axis rotation . Rotate anticlockwise around the selection's common X-axis. Clockwise Y-axis rotation . Rotate clockwise around the selection's common Y-axis. Anticlockwise Y-axis rotation . Rotate anticlockwise around the selection's common Y-axis.

Movement Configuration | Decker - 28 Feb 2001 | [ Top ]

Pressing this button, will open up the movement configuration box, so you can specify different values for the move-, enlarge-, shrink-, inflate/deflate- and rotation-buttons. Move selection (x,y,z) . Here you specify, the distance in units, the 'move-button' should move the selection with. These values can be both positive and negative. For instance; '+8 -16 0' will move the selection +8 units in X-direction, -16 units in Y-direction and 0 units in Z-direction, from the common center of the selection. Zoom factor . This value specify by which factor to 'enlarge/shrink' your selection. You can't specify a value lower than '1', but you can specify floating point values like '1.75', if you so dare. Inflate/Deflate by . By which amount in units, the 'inflate/deflate-button' should change your selection. A negative value will deflate (make smaller) the selection with the number of units specified, and a positive will inflate (make bigger) the selection. Rotation angle . The distance in degrees, the 'rotation-buttons' should rotate your selection. Best values are from 1 to 180, since specifying anything above 180 or negative you could just use the other rotation-button.
