Description |
|
Using the mouse, click and drag the selected object(s) to a location in the model view. |
|
Click  , then select the method for moving vertices:
- Select Move Vertices to create topology between the moved vertex and the target vertex. The moved vertex will inherit the vertex id of the target vertex.
- Clear Move Vertices to change the coordinates of the moved vertex to match the coordinates of the target vertex or freehand location but maintain the original vertex id.
Pick a vertex then move it to:
- an existing vertex - In the model view, pick the new vertex. Press Shift before you click the new vertex to move in 2 dimensions only and preserve the height/z of the original vertex.
- a freehand location - In the model view, press Ctrl then using the mouse, point to the location and then click. The moved vertex will retain its original unique id irrespective of the Move Vertices configuration.

| Notes |
- If multiple objects or vertices are close together, tentatively pick the object or vertex before confirming the selection to move.
- Model view objects sharing vertices with an object on a locked layer cannot be moved.
- Vertices shared with objects on a locked layer cannot be moved.
- Vertices and objects from a reference file or a locked layer cannot be moved or edited.
- When you move a vertex to an existing vertex, the height of the existing vertex is used. Press Shift prior to picking the existing vertex to move in 2 dimensions only and preserve the vertices original height.
- If you press the Shift key to preserve the height of the original vertex, the vertices will not be merged regardless of the Merge Vertices configuration.
- If a user coordinate system is selected:
- You can only move a vertex to an existing vertex. It is invalid to move a vertex by freehand.
- You can not select the 'Move Objects' command.

Description |
| Failed to complete operation. 'Layer Name' layer is locked. |
The selected object cannot be moved as the object or its vertices are on a locked layer. |
