Moving a feature in 3D

This is the 3D editing command for moving selected features horizontally or vertically. By specifying the x,y,z coordinates, you can move a feature to a precise location. The coordinates you enter into the Delta XYZ dialog box, are relative to the current position of the feature. For example, if you enter (1, 2, 3), the selected feature(s) will be moved one unit in x, two units in y, and three units in z. Negative values will adjust the feature position in the opposite direction.

Move is supported for points, lines, polygons, and multipatches.

How to use the Move command:

Steps:

1. Click the Edit Placement tool on the 3D Editor toolbar.
2. Click the feature or features you want to move. Hold down the SHIFT key while clicking features to select additional features.
3. Open the Move command by either:
   • Clicking the 3D Editor menu and clicking Move.
   • Pressing the M key after selecting the features.
The Delta X,Y, Z coordinate box appears.
4. Specify the x,y,z distance using the Delta X, Y, Z coordinate box when you want to move a feature to a precise location.
5. Press ENTER and the feature is moved to the specified location.

Tip:

• Another way to move features is to interactively position them using the Edit Placement tool. For more information see using the interactive Edit Placement tool to drag the feature in either x and y, or z only and using the Edit Sketch Properties window to modify vertex values.
