-andrew- Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Is there a panel or otherwise numeric display that gives you (and lets you adjust) dimensional and positional information for an object? For example... I have a cube that's 3x3x3, and I want to make it 3 x 4.25 x 3.... Or, numbers that you can adjust to move an object to a specific point, e.g. move the cube to 0,0,0 ? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordonjay Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 If you use the Transform tool and set it to Non uniform scaling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordonjay Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 As for the movement, if you set your origin to a specific spot in the info panel. Or if you want to move a specific distance, start moving in the direction you want and type in the distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-andrew- Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 Thanks! Would be great if that information stayed open/available all the time, but this works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree this could be very useful to see an Object Parameters window open all the time... it should probably be separate palette from the Tool Options. I say could because the Parameters function kinda broken in formZ. Example: Draw a cube... parameters are there and adjustable. Reshape the cube: Parameters are gone. This is the same for all generated solids. Yes, you can use the Transform/Non-Uniform Scaling to change the size, but it's not *quite* the same. formZ needs to retain these parametric properties when just reshaping an object. Maybe a version 9 fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
