Drag Mode
- Shift +Cursor Up to increase/decrease the 3rd coordinate by 1 m,
- Shift+Cursor Down to decrease the 3rd coordinate by 1 m,
- Ctrl+Cursor Up to increase the 3rd coordinate by 10 m,
- Ctrl+Cursor Down to decrease the 3rd coordinate by 10 m,
- Shift+Ctrl+Cursor Up to increase the 3rd coordinate by 0.1 m,
- Shift+Ctrl+Cursor Down to decrease the 3rd coordinate by 0.1 m.
The reference point for the object position in the database is the (3D) object origin. This is important for recombining template objects while the current view is not the ground plane view of the template. In this case, the template will be recombined and displayed in the current plane and a modification of the 3rd coordinate will be made in relation to the former origin.
- A template with a surrounding cuboid height of 2 meters is created in the xy-view and inserted into the database at z = 0 m.
- Afterwards, the current view plane is set to z = 1.5 m.
- Then a template recombination is done. This activates the Drag Mode.
- If the 3rd coordinate is modified now, this modification will be based on the former object origin which is in the plane z = 0 m.
- So, if the 3rd coordinate is increased by 1 m for instance, the object origin will be displaced to the plane z = 1 m and not to the plane z = 2.5 m which is 1 m above the current view plane.
- The Drag Mode is left by clicking the left mouse button once. This will automatically activate the Track Mode.
