When you draw a spline on a plane, you are able to move the nodes freely on that plane (ie - x & y axis). Is there a way, however, to move one of the points up and down on the third plane (ie - z axis)? I cannot find a way to do this. I can move the entire sketch in three directions using the move tool, but I am trying to only move one of the node points. How do I do this?

Hi, to see the move/rotate options for all coordinates

Tap on Transform  
Tap on Move/Rotate  
Tap on the spline to see the arrows.

Let me know if this helps 🙂

You can only move sketches by their plane. All points have to be on the same plane, so 3D sketches are not supported.
