Descrição

Options

There are new options introduced in 1.1 for the tool. By default, the options are set to work the same as in version 1.0 and below.

You can adjust the following options:

Dragger

This section controls the interactive dragger (gizmo or axis handles) location and orientation, and its behavior in the 3D view. The object is always transformed around the current dragger coordinate system.

Mode

Allows to adjust the location and orientation of the dragger and therefore the transform origin.

• Object origin (default): Places the dragger at the origin of the object to be transformed.
• Center of mass / Centroid: Places the dragger at the centroid (geometric center) of the object to be transformed, which is only equal to the center of mass if the material is identical and equally distributed, or not considered.
• Custom: The dragger can be snapped to any element in the document, not limited to the object to be transformed (faces, edges, vertices, datums). Choosing Custom waits for a user input, to place the dragger at a custom location. Hovering elements in the document previews the new dragger location and orientation, a click on the selection attaches the dragger at this position.
  • Reference (only visible in Custom mode): Displays the element where the dragger (transform origin) is set to. It displays Select face, edge or vertex... if the tool waits for an input (selection) from the user.
  • Pick reference / Cancel (only visible in Custom mode): If a custom dragger location is set, Pick reference allows the user to change the location of the dragger and snap it to a different element in the document. The object can be transformed, the dragger location be changed and transformed again, all in one active task. Cancel is displayed when the transform tool expects a user input for a new dragger location (selection in the 3D view) and cancels the placement of a custom dragger location.

Snapping

Snapping increments are values to control solely the interactive dragging behavior in the 3D view. The object to be transformed snaps to the following increments:

• Translation: Length value - snapping increment for translational change of the object in the 3D view, either in one axis or planar.
• Rotation: Angle value - snapping increment for a rotational change of the object in the 3D view around any axis.

If 0 is set as snapping increment, snapping is deactivated when dragging in the 3D view.

Coordinate system

This dropdown sets the coordinate system for the manual inputs in the task panel. The coordinate system has no effect when transforming the object solely by dragging in the 3D view (except when choosing Global and check to align the dragger rotation to the selected coordinate system.)

The axis labels are also displayed on the dragger in the 3D view, whereas U,V,W is the local coordinate system at the current dragger location, and X,Y,Z is the global coordinate system (equal to the placement value in the property editor, if the dragger is at the object's origin).

• Local (default): the current dragger location and orientation defines the transform origin for the following inputs in the task panel in U,V,W. The input is equal the delta to the current dragger location in its axes.
• Global: the task panel shows the values of the global position and rotation in the global coordinate system X,Y,Z and allows to change these values. If the dragger mode is set to Object origin, the values are the same as in the placement property of the object to be transformed.
  • Align dragger rotation with selected coordinate system (default FALSE, only available if the coordinate system is not the local one): changes the orientation of the dragger to match the global axes X,Y,Z. The dragger location is not changed by this checkbox, only the axis rotation of the dragger. This allows to drag the object in the directions of the global axes (X,Y,Z), even if the object's origin is in a different orientation.

Translation

Length input for changing the translation of the object around the current dragger (transform origin).

• U, V, W (default, in local coordinate system): Allows to input – or displays, when dragging in the 3D view – the delta to the previous dragger location in the local coordinate system (= dragger location). The translation values in U,V,W are accumulated, as long as the dragger rotation (orientation of the axes) is not changed (either by dragging in the 3D view or by inputting rotation values in the task panel), the dragger is re-aligned to a different custom location, or the Move to other object function has been used. In these cases, the values are set to zero in the user interface of the task panel, without changing the actual translation of the object.
• X, Y, Z (in global coordinate system): Allows to input – or displays, when dragging in the 3D view – the location values of the current dragger position in the global coordinate system X,Y,Z. If the dragger mode is set to Object origin, the values correspond with the placement values of the object to be transformed which are also visible in the property view.

Rotation

Angular input for changing the rotation of the object around the current dragger (transform origin).

• U, V, W (default, in local coordinate system): Allows to input – or displays, when dragging in the 3D view – the delta to the previous dragger orientation in the local coordinate system (= dragger orientation). The rotation values in U,V,W are accumulated, as long as the dragger location (position of the axes) is not changed (either by dragging in the 3D view or by inputting translation values in the task panel), the dragger is re-aligned to a different custom location, or the Move to other object function has been used. In these cases, the rotation values are set to zero in the user interface of the task panel, without changing the actual rotation of the object.
• X, Y, Z (in global coordinate system): Allows to input – or displays, when dragging in the 3D view – the location values of the current dragger orientation in the global coordinate system in euler angles around X,Y,Z. If the dragger mode is set to Object origin, the values correspond with the rotational placement values of the object to be transformed.

Utilities

Quick actions to transform the selected object.

• Move to other object: Allows to interactively select a target location in the 3D view (any element in the document) where the object to be transformed is set to (translation and rotation), at the current dragger location. The button changes to Cancel if the tool waits for an input (3D selection) from the user. Cancel then aborts the selection of a target but does not close the transform tool.
• Flip: Flips the orientation of the object to be transformed 180 degrees around X and Z axis. This is helpful, if after Move to other object the object to be transformed is intersecting the target object, because the target location coordinates are flipped 180 degrees.

Examples

Pick custom dragger

If the dragger is not in view or at an unwanted location, it can be set to either the center of mass or any element in the document (not limited to the object to be transformed):

1. Invoke the Transform tool.
2. Choose Dragger → Mode → Custom.
3. Select any element in the 3D view.
4. Transform around that dragger origin by either dragging in the 3D view, or changing the values in the task panel.

Move feature to global origin

This allows to position bodies and imported STEP files with regard to special features (e.g. holes) in the document:

1. Invoke the Transform tool.
2. Choose Dragger → Mode → Custom.
3. Select the element in the 3D view which needs to be positioned.
4. Change the Coordinate system to Global.
5. Input the new position, e.g. 0,0,0 to center the object to be transformed at the dragger location to the global origin.

Align to target object

If an object should be transformed to be placed at a target location (reference):

1. Invoke the Transform tool.
2. Choose Dragger → Mode → Custom.
3. Select the reference element in the 3D view.
4. Click Utilities → Move to other object.
5. Select the target location (location where the object to be transformed is aligned to, at the current dragger position).
6. Optional: click Flip to change the orientation, if the objects are intersecting.

Drag in global coordinate system if object is not aligned

If an (imported or transformed) object is not aligned to the global coordinate system X, Y, Z but it needs to be dragged (rotation or translation) around the global axes:

1. Invoke the Transform tool.
2. Optional: change dragger location Mode.
3. Select the reference element in the 3D view.
4. Change the Coordinate system to Global.
5. Check the option Align dragger rotation with selected coordinate system.
6. The labels on the dragger change from U,V,W to X,Y,Z and are now aligned to the global coordinate system.
