3D Transformations

The most precise method of positioning objects is by using the 3D Transformations dialog. This dialog lets you enter specific offset values for a selected object.

All transformations performed using this dialog use World Space coordinates regardless of the spatial option you chose for the Reposition tool.

Offset values are expressed in Bryce units of measure. You may enter negative numbers in the Reposition fields.

To reposition an object numerically:

1. Make sure the Edit palette is visible. If it's not, click the Edit button at the top of the Bryce window.
   
   
2. Select an object.
3. Click the triangle icon next to the Reposition tool and choose 3D Transformations from the menu.
   
   
   
   The 3D Transformations dialog appears.
   
   
4. Enter a value in one or all of the Offset fields. The value determines the number of Bryce units the object is offset from its current position.
   
   
   
   And here is the result of the above changes on a cube:
   
   
   
   And the Object Attributes dialog showing the changes:
   
   

Remember that since this dialog only performs transformations in World Space, you are moving the object relative to world X, Y, and Z coordinates.
