Moving in custom layout

Post by Jason Gooch »

Hey, question about the new (awesome) version - how do I select and position something in overhead view? Meaning: if I want to adjust the position of a cabinet that's underneath a counter, I used to be able to select it in elevation view, then move to overhead view and reposition it (the cabinet remained selected when moving to overhead view). I can't do this in the new version - am I missing something? This is pretty important....

Thanks folks - Jason

Jason, you can use show/hide and hide the c-top.

Jason,

You can also rotate the Overhead/Main view and click on items to select it. Then you can press the Home key to get back to straight overhead view. You can move items while in a rotated position as well but keep in mind the movement may seem odd based on the rotation you are at (movement is always based on the straight overhead view). Also, remember if something does not move or move the way you want, you may need to switch to Free Style. HTH
