Move Face PropertyManager

You can offset, translate, and rotate faces and features directly on solid or surface models.

To open the Move Face PropertyManager:

Click Move Face (Mold Tools or Features toolbar) or Insert > Face > Move . You can also right-click a face and click Move Face, or select Move Face on the Direct Editing CommandManager tab.

Move Face

	Offset	Offsets selected faces or features by a specified distance.
	Translate	Translates selected faces or features by a specified distance in a selected direction.
	Rotate	Rotates selected faces or features a specified angle about a selected axis.
	Instant3D functionality supports editing of Move Face features. Click the Move Face feature or face and use the Instant3D arrow, dimension manipulator, or triad to edit the Move Face feature.
	Face(s) to move	Lists the faces or features you select. Use the Select Connected Faces pop-up toolbar to help you select various faces. See Using Selected Connected Faces.
	Show selection toolbar	Shows/hides selection accelerator toolbars
	Copy	Copies faces and features using the Translate and Rotate commands. You can use Instant3D functionality, such as the triad and rulers, to position and edit the Move Face features. This option is useful when you modify imported geometry. You cannot create disjoint bodies using this option. Video: Move Face - Copy

Example of Offset, Translate, and Rotate


Original boss	Offset The radius of the curved face increases.	Translate The radius of the curved face remains the same.	Rotate

Parameters - Offset

Distance

Sets the distance to move the faces or features.

Parameters - Translate

Blind

Direction reference	Select a plane, planar face, linear edge, or reference axis to specify the direction to move faces or features.
Distance	Sets the distance to move the faces or features.
Delta X	Moves the face along the X axis.
Delta Y	Moves the face along the Y axis.
Delta Z	Moves the face along the Z axis.

Up to Vertex

From Entity	Sets the face, plane, or vertex to move the face from.
To Entity	Sets the vertex to move the face to.

Up to Surface

From Entity	Sets the face or plane to move the face from.
To Entity	Sets the surface, face, or plane to move the face to.

Offset from Surface

From Entity	Sets the face or plane to move the face from.
Offset Entity	Sets the offset surface, face, or plane.

Up to Body

From Entity	Sets the face or plane to move the face from.
To Entity	Sets the surface or surface body to move the face to.

Parameters - Rotate

	Reference Axis	Sets the selected axis as the axis of rotation. Select a linear edge or reference axis.
	Draft Angle	Sets the angle of rotation around the Reference Axis .
	X Rotation Origin	Defines the X coordinate of the triad position.
	Y Rotation Origin	Defines the Y coordinate of the triad position.
	Z Rotation Origin	Defines the Z coordinate of the triad position.
	X Angle Rotation	Sets the angle of rotation around the X axis of the triad.
	Y Angle Rotation	Sets the angle of rotation around the Y axis of the triad.
	Z Angle Rotation	Sets the angle of rotation around the Z axis of the triad.
