Move
Move the selected faces, rings, or corners through the workspace in set steps.
Move shifts the selection one step per press. Its Pick row sets Faces, Rings, or Corners, and its Which way row sets Side, Front, Up, or, for faces, Out. The two buttons that apply it are on the Steps card on the left side of the canvas. Move is the first tool under Position in the Adjust tab.
Use the Small, Medium, or Big switch on the Steps card to set the adjustment increment for each press. Hold a button to keep going. If Mirror is active, the corresponding faces, rings, or corners on the opposite side move as well.
Faces
The Which way row has four choices:
- Side, Front, and Up: the buttons read Left and Right, Back and Forward, or Down and Up. The whole selection moves as one sheet and keeps its shape.
- Out: the buttons read In and Out. Out moves the faces along the direction they point (a snout); In moves them inward (a dent). The same faces move; no new faces are added.
Rings
Select Side, Front, or Up, then press. The ring maintains its shape while the surrounding faces stretch to accommodate the new position. A tilted ring keeps its tilt. When the ring is the rim of a flat end (the end of a tube, the top of a box), the whole end moves with it. With several rings held (see Grab & Let go ), they move together.
Corners
Select Side, Front, or Up, then press. The selected corner dots move together. Unselected corners remain stationary.
Limits
The tool prevents a piece from intersecting itself or moving outside the workspace boundaries. If a movement would cause the surface to fold or exceed the workspace limits, the action is blocked and a warning notification will appear. A blocked press does not count as a step.
