The Hamma Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) I used to be able to move doors in walls parallel with the reshape tool in VW 2009 and now with 2012 I cannot. Is there a work around for this. See images Edited June 14, 2012 by The Hamma Quote Link to comment
VincentCuclair Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Select the doors you want to move and use the move by points tool. Quote Link to comment
Mitchell Brooks Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Or use the Move command; a handy dialog box comes up with an arrow to indicate which direction it assumes you want to move it. Use a positive or negative number as you wish. Quote Link to comment
The Hamma Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 Thank you both methods work, but I think what I will do on most occasions is to make sure the marquee selection goes around the end point of the wall on the side that is in the direction I am going to stretch. This way the doors move and all I need to do is rejoin the wall at the end. Another trick I can use is to break the wall at some point near the stretch so the marquee selection can go around an end point. It would be nice if the tool worked the way it had in the past. I used it this way every day. Quote Link to comment

bc Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 With the door selected and OIP indicated as "in wall": press Command-M Should pop up. Doesn't it for you? Quote Link to comment
Benson Shaw Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Yes. There it is for the windows & doors. I thought I missed some feature for any object. Might be helpful occasionally. THX -B Quote Link to comment
Kizza Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Might be one to add to the wishlist - the move arrow dialogue for any object that we wish to move. Quote Link to comment
Dieter @ DWorks Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Might be one to add to the wishlist - the move arrow dialogue for any object that we wish to move. - and + do this. I hate the arrow button, it's way faster typing in a - or a + sign. Quote Link to comment
bc Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) Indeed, but - or + relative to what? What if the wall is angled 45?? By looking at the default direction of the arrow you can currently type in a + or - to make it go the way you want without having to deal with the "arrow button".

Depends on the object, and the direction of the wall. It's easy once you know it. Most of the time -X is to left, -Y is to bottom. Quote Link to comment
bc Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I guess my point was that the capability you prefer is already present, is is not? Quote Link to comment
