Object Handling

Solid objects can be manipulated (moved, copied, rotated) in much the same manner as 2D objects, however, the alignment of the Workplane and the User CS are important.When selecting objects, selector properties should be applied so that a distinction is made between 2D profiles and 3D objects.

Select the lower sliced portion of the sphere and move it to a new position in the editor.

Select the bottom portion of the hemisphere and attach the cursor to the rotation handle of the selector shell.

Rotate the hemisphere so that it is inverted, shown below.

The result is shown below.

Right click and use the Make Copy tool to create an additional copy of the sliced portion, similar to the illustration below.

Take Note

Remember to remove the Make Copy option when this task is complete.
