How on earth do you move things?

I've got some walls I made:
On top view I can move the walls left / right (left and right)
but not up/down (back and forward)

On front view I can move the walls left / right (left and right)
but not up/down (up and down)

On side view I can't move the walls left / right (forwards and back)
or not up/down (up and down)


the above is with the mouse, with the keyboard (arrow keys) I can do both directions on side view and on the top / front view I can only go left / right.

So side view works as expected. I'm probably being stupid, as I'm new, any pointers?

now I feel stupid, I had restrict to X set...

but the question remains, when restrict to X was set, why was the side view allowing me to move in both th Y and Z axis?

Cheers,

Anthony

Hi,

Thanks for the detailed response, I have used several packages before (Amapi, truSpace, milkshape3d)

I was expecting to be able, as you said, to be able to move in two directions, but could only move in one.

I then realised that I had "restrict to X" set which meant that I could only move in one (so it was me being thick).

The only thing I didn't understand was:
The restrict to X was only affecting 2 of the 3 views. I cannot reproduce this effect:

When restrict to X was set, on the side view you could move in both the Y and Z.
So to summerise with restrict to X on:
Top view CAN move X, and CANNOT move Z
Front view CAN move X and CANNOT move Y
Side View **CAN** Move Z and **CAN** Move Y (Despite Restrict To X being set, which should mean you can only move in the X axis...)

This was fixed by restarting the application, which also fixed all the CSG options being greyed out (another person has had that problem too see thread "CSG Union and Lite Version").

Seems to be behaving itself now, wish I could figure out what caused it.

How do I get "Deled Pro User" on my details over there <---- ?

Thanks,
