11 | Basics Tools Reference > Move Tool When you select Normal, the Update [UVN] Triad check box appears. Turned on, this option causes the manipulator orientation to reflect the moved surface rather than the original surface. This is the default. Turned off, the manipulator retains the orientation for the original surface. Along Rotation Axis Aligns to the Rotate Tool's axes on the object. If you have set the Rotate Axis in the object's Transform Attributes to a different value (which offsets the orientation of the object relative to the orientation of the object's local rotation axis) this attribute will have an affect; otherwise, Along Rotation Axis is the same as Object. Along Live Object Axis (This setting does not work with Reflection on.) Sets the Move Tool to move objects along the axis of a live object. Most commonly, you would make a construction plane live, but any object can be set live. When you have a live object and select this option, the move arrows of the Move Tool align to the live construction plane. (The geometry of the live object doesn't matter; the move aligns to the axes of the live object.) Custom Axis Orientation Enter the x, y, and z offset of the custom axis in radians. Set to Point You can set the Move Tool to move the selected object along a axis defined by selecting a point. 1 Select an object. 2 Click Set to Point. 3 Select a point in the scene. It can be a point on any object, including the currently selected object. The axis of the Move Tool changes. Basics 187
