Manipulation

Manipulation tool determines the general manipulation of model. Manipulation tool is the only tool, where direct movement, rotation, and scaling is allowed. The model can be directly interacted with by hand, or by using the controls on the panel. By default, the spatial mesh is disabled for this tool in order to be able to freely manipulate it, regardless of walls or other obstacles.

Note: Model position is automatically saved as a preset for the project when the application is closed or project is changed.
