Select & transform
Move tool
Move repositions selected geometry with axis gizmo arrows and numeric coordinates. Direct dragging on the object body is disabled while Move is active so accidental free movement cannot fight the transform gizmo.

Step by step
- Select the object or objects to move.
- Activate Move.
- Drag an X, Y or Z gizmo arrow, or enter the desired coordinate/value in the floating transform fields.
- Finish the transform and confirm the selection outline remains aligned with the object.
Gizmo-first behaviour
While Move is active, only the intended move handles and transform fields change position. Clicking and dragging the model body itself does not translate it.
Axis acquisition
Use the axis arrows when you want a constrained movement. Numeric fields are best when an exact coordinate or offset is already known.
Keep in mind
- If you want free direct object dragging again, return to Select mode.
