Move Vertices
To move vertices to a new location:
- Select Move Vertices from the toolbar or the Edit sub-menu of the Boundaries menu.
- You can select individual vertices by clicking on them with the left mouse button or multiple vertices by drawing a window around them (click and hold the left mouse button, and drag to create a window).
- When you are finished selecting, press Enter or right-click and select Done Selection.
- You will then be prompted to enter two points defining the move. You can enter the points graphically with the mouse, or with the keyboard in the prompt line.
- After the second point is entered, all of the vertices selected in Step 2 will be translated from their original positions according to the vector defined by the two points.
Tips
- The two points defining the move can be anywhere in the x-y plane, only their relative positions are important.
- If you enter 0 , 0 as the first point defining the move, then you can enter the actual x and y displacement as the second point. For example, if you want to move a vertex 5 meters to the left, enter 0 , 0 as the base point, and –5 , 0 as the second point.
- You may also find it useful to use the snap options (vertex or grid snap), to snap exactly to existing vertices, or grid points, when selecting the base point and / or the second point, defining the move.
