| 24 | | ||'''Moving Objects'''[[BR]]To move an object, select it and hit G (grab). You can now move the object freely with your mouse. If you hit G and X, Y or Z afterwards, moving the object will be limited to this specific axis. Hitting G and Shift + X/Y/Z afterwards will lock the specified axis, so your object will move only parallel to the other two axes.[[BR]][[BR]]Left-Clicking on the red triangle in the header of the 3D-View makes the three grab controls appear in the object center (colored arrows). You can also use these controls to move an object directly, by dragging these arrows with the mouse. |
| 25 | | ||'''Rotating Objects'''[[BR]]It is just as easy to rotate an object. First, you can select an object and hit R (rotate). You may also hit R and X/Y/Z afterwards to rotate only along the specified axis.[[BR]][[BR]]Second, you can also click the small green circle in the header. The rotate controls (colored rings) will appear. Use the mouse on them to rotate along one axis. |
| 26 | | ||'''Scaling Objects'''[[BR]]To scale an object, select it and hit S (scale). Now you can scale it freely in all dimensions. To scale only in one dimension, hit S and X/Y/Z afterwards. To scale in two dimensions, hit S followed by Shift + X/Y/Z .[[BR]][[BR]]Alternatively, click the blue square in the header to bring up the scaling controls (colored arrows with square heads). Drag them with your mouse to scale in a specific dimension. |
