Manipulation Modes
There are 3 ways to manipulate objects in SHAPE.
To translate click,
or (E) + left mouse click and drag on an axis arrow.
To translate on 2 axis at the same time, position the mouse on the yellow area between the 2 axis you want to move your model on.
To rotate click,
or (R ) + left mouse click and drag around an axis.
To scale click,
or (T) and left mouse click and drag on an axis.
To scale on 2 axis at the same time, position the mouse on the yellow area between the 2 axis you want to scale your mode on. If you want to scale on all axis at the same time move the mouse to the center of the yellow area.
| TIP: To reset your position or rotation changes to 0. You can right click on the specific X Y Z properties panel box you want to reset or if you right click on the word position or rotation in the properties panel you can reset all 3. |
| TIP: If you single press a manipulation shortcut the manipulation mode will remain active. If you hold down the manipulation shortcut while you manipulate the object when the button is released SHAPE will return to the previous mode, this is a great time saver. |
