4 Click OK. To move an object with a measure tool 1 Select the object you want to move. 2 Open the Measure Tools window, and click Point Line . 3 Click the selected object to create the first point. This is the start point from which the repositioning will be calculated. 4 Click the second point in the scene. This is the point where the object will be moved to. There is now a line connecting the start point and the end point in the Scene Area. 5 If you want to be able to move the object several times, create more points in the scene. NOTE You can only select a point on another object in the scene. Selecting a point in 'space' is not a valid option. To reposition an object into 'space', you can either use a translation gizmo or, if you know the distance by which the object is to be moved, by overriding its transform. 6 Click Transform Objects to move the object to the second point. If you have multiple points in the scene, each time you click Transform Objects the selected object is moved to the next point. To rotate an object with the rotation gizmo 1 Select the object you want to rotate in the Scene Area. 2 Click Rotate Item on the Object Manipulation toolbar. 3 Use the rotation gizmo to rotate the currently selected object: ■ Before you can rotate the currently selected objects, you need to position the origin (center point) of the rotation. To do this, place the mouse over the square at the end of the desired axis. When the cursor changes to , drag the square on the screen to increase/decrease the translation along that axis. This will move the rotation gizmo itself. Dragging the yellow square in the middle of the rotation gizmo enables you to move it around, and snap it to points on other geometry objects.
