Copyright Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Chapter 12 Solid Model Editing 311 Moving Faces The Move option moves a face in the specifi ed direction and lengthens or shortens the solid object. In another application, a solid model feature (such as a hole) that has been subtracted from an object to create a composite solid can be moved with this option. Object snaps may interfere with the function of this option, so they may need to be toggled off during the operation. To move a face, select the command and pick the Face Move option. If the button is picked in the ribbon, the option is directly entered. You are then prompted to select the face(s) to move. When done selecting faces, press [Enter] to continue. Next, you are prompted to select a base point of the operation: Specify a base point or displacement: (pick a base point) Specify a second point of displacement: (pick a second point or enter coordinates) Solid validation started.
