You can move objects by either dragging handles (magenta circles) with your mouse, or typing values for the object properties. You can only use your mouse in Bird's eye and Elevations view. You can edit object properties in any view.

•Use bird's eye view to change an object's horizontal position.

•Use elevations view to change its vertical position.

•Use 3D scene to make adjustments in all three dimensions.

To move an object with your mouse

1.Click Bird's eye to make changes in the X or Y dimension, or click Elevations to make changes in the Z dimension.

2.Click the object you want to move. The object's handles will appear to indicate it is selected.

3.Hover over a handle to see the move pointer :

For rectangular objects, the lower left corner handle moves the object.

For trees and cylinders, the center handle moves the object.

4.Drag the handle to move the object.

The object's X and Y coordinate properties change as you drag the object.

Moving Round and Rectangular Objects

To move an object by editing its properties

1.Click 3D scene, Bird's eye, or Elevations.

2.Click the object you want to move. The object's handles will appear to indicate it is selected, or it will change color in 3D scene view.

3.Type values for the object's X, Y, and Z coordinates (the scene's origin is at the intersection of the X, Y, and Z axes)  Be sure to press the Tab or Enter key to store each value:

For rectangular objects, the coordinates define the position of the corner nearest the origin.

For objects with a circular projection onto the X-Y plane (trees and cylinders), the coordinates define the position of the center of the circle at the bottom of the cylinder or base of the tree.

The object moves as you type values.
