Need help? We are here.

Hello,

I have read through other queries to try and find users raising a similar issue but not sure if I have found it. Anyway, I am struggling to move objects accurately between a chosen point on itself to another fixed point? Any help? (I have done all the beginners tutorials but the method shown seems not work anymore)

Many thanks !
Ryan

Hi Ryan,

you can use it like this video depicts: https://www.instagram.com/p/BrDUAQCH1oa/

  1. Enter Transform/Translate/
  2. Select shapes.
  3. Give a starting and an ending point. Points snaps to edges, center points, etc

Daniel,

Couple more questions-

  1. Can you save views?
  2. Group elements together, not for ‘layer purposes’ like making visible/invisible together, but so that you click on a 3D object and the entirety of it is selected in one click?

Thanks!

Hi,

unfortunately both answers are No at this point. First one is on our roadmap, second is a bit more complex, but we have some selection and group/layer improvements in mind for 2019.
