At a Glance
Moves the selected geometry from one point to another — by dragging a specific corner of the selection to a new location, or by defining a start point and an end point and shifting everything by that same distance and direction. An option leaves the original in place and moves a copy instead.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Move Type | Toggles between "Corner" and "Point to Point" move behavior. |
| Corner | A small diagram for picking which corner/handle of the selection is the reference point (Corner mode). |
| Point 1 / Point 2 | The starting reference point and the destination point (Point to Point mode). |
| Copy | Leaves the original in place and moves a new copy instead. |
| Apply / Close | Apply completes the move immediately; Close exits without moving anything. |
Overview
Moves the selected geometry from one point to another — by dragging a specific corner of the selection to a new location, or by defining a start point and an end point and shifting everything by that same distance and direction. An option leaves the original in place and moves a copy instead.
Using Move
- Select the object(s) to move.
- Choose the move type: By Corner (pick a corner/handle, then click the destination) or Point to Point (click a start point, then a destination — the selection shifts by that distance and direction).
- As soon as the destination point is set, the move is applied automatically.
By Corner
Use Corner mode when a known corner or handle on the selection should land at a specific destination. Choose the reference corner, then place that point at the new location.
Point to Point
Use Point to Point when the move should be defined by a displacement. Pick a starting reference point and a destination; the entire selection moves by the same distance and direction.
Enable Copy to leave the original geometry in place and move a duplicate instead.
Result
The selected geometry ends up shifted to the new location, or, if Copy was on, a moved duplicate is added while the original stays put.
