Move Along a Vector

With the Move Along a Vector function, you can move or copy selected models by defining a vector. Moving or copying models graphically is described in the Chapter 'Graphical Manipulator'.

Define the Vector of Translation by entering the distances dX, dY, and dZ. You can also use the button to define the vector in the work window by clicking two points.

When the number of copies is set to 0 in the Copy section, the selected model is moved. Otherwise, the defined number of copies is created at the stated steps. If copies are generated, you can control the Numbering of the new objects by clearing the Automatic check boxes.

When copying models, you can create Connections Between Copies. Select the check box and click the [Details] button to open another dialog box with useful options to manipulate the objects.
