Move 3D Model

The Move 3D Model dialog allows you to move a 3D model to a different position with respect to the component. This movement can be absolute or relative. Launch this dialog by clicking 3D Model > 3D Model > Move on the Footprint Editor ribbon.

Command dialog

Execution mode

Allows you to specify whether the 3D model is moved using absolute values, or using values that are relative to the current position of the origin.

Item   Description
Absolute   The 3D model is moved using absolute values.
  Coordinates  
    X: the X coordinate that the 3D model is to be moved to. Expressed using the unit and decimal place settings defined on the status bar.
    Y: the Y coordinate that the 3D model is to be moved to. Expressed using the unit and decimal place settings defined on the status bar.
    Z: the Z coordinate that the 3D model is to be moved to. Expressed using the unit and decimal place settings defined on the status bar.
  Angles  
    Around Z-axis: the amount of rotation for the 3D model about the Z-axis. Expressed in degrees, to the number of decimal places defined on the status bar.
    Around Y-axis: the amount of rotation for the 3D model about the Y-axis. Expressed in degrees, to the number of decimal places defined on the status bar.
    Around X-axis: the amount of rotation for the 3D model about the X-axis. Expressed in degrees, to the number of decimal places defined on the status bar.
Relative   The 3D model is moved using values relative to the current position of the origin.
  Distances  
    X-axis dir: the distance in the direction of the X-axis that the 3D model is to be moved. Expressed using the unit and decimal place settings defined on the status bar.
    Y-axis dir: the distance in the direction of the Y-axis that the 3D model is to be moved. Expressed using the unit and decimal place settings defined on the status bar.
    Z-axis dir: the distance in the direction of the Z-axis that the 3D model is to be moved. Expressed using the unit and decimal place settings defined on the status bar.
  Rotation angles  
    Around Z-axis: the amount of rotation for the 3D model about the Z-axis. Expressed in degrees, to the number of decimal places defined on the status bar.
    Around Y-axis: the amount of rotation for the 3D model about the Y-axis. Expressed in degrees, to the number of decimal places defined on the status bar.
    Around X-axis: the amount of rotation for the 3D model about the X-axis. Expressed in degrees, to the number of decimal places defined on the status bar.
Execute   The 3D model is moved to a different position with respect to the component. The Move 3D Model dialog remains open.
Exit   Closes the he Move 3D Model dialog without moving a 3D model.
