Translation of the model with then be constrained along that axis. The axis selected (X, Y, or Z) will become highlighted. T + (X, Y, or Z) – Allows translational movement of the model along the specified axis.

These modes have different commands, (indicated below). In manipulator movement, only a box will be present. If you’re in normal movement, both a box and axial circles will surround your model. Esc – Toggle between manipulator movement (moves just the model relative to the axis) and normal movement (moves both the model and the axis together).To leave this mode, press the button again. To manipulate the model and axis, use the following commands. When the model is in this mode, a colored box will appear around the specimen. Press the Manipulators Tool button in the toolbar near the top of the page, or by going to Edit → Manipulators Tool in the menu bar. II: Move the model until the axis falls within the model, with the X, Y, and Z axes pointing the direction you want. I: Press Render → Show Axis in the menu bar at the top of the page – this allows you to visualize the X, Y, and Z axes. It rarely falls within the body of the specimen by default, making manipulation of the model difficult. Step 2: Adjust model axis – the axis acts as the point of rotation for the model. ply files, and back up your work periodically by saving new versions of the model. This time, press File → Import Mesh, and choose the newly saved. III: Press File → Export Mesh As… in the menu bar and save the model as a. II: Press File → Import Mesh in the menu bar and select your.
