Gripper Properties

Modify | Gripper

The gripper provides a multi-purpose conceptual selector for both curves and solids. When the gripper is enabled using Modify > Gripper, a 3-dimensional axis is applied to the selected object, allowing multiple manipulation functions such as move, scale, rotate and stretch.

In the illustration below, the gripper is attached to a solid. The gripper axes always align to the current view, allowing in-place modification functions.

The Gripper can be enabled or disabled by using the right click context menuobtained by right clicking into the editor and checking the Gripper On/Gripper Off option.
