Move Vertex - Parameters

Move Vertex - Edit Parameters

Use the Active Z

If this parameter is turned on (checked) then the Active Z will be used when moving points. If this parameter is turned off (unchecked) then the Active Z will be ignored and each point's elevation will not change during the move process.

If the active input device is a 3D device such as a 3D mouse in VrTwo, the active Z is the current elevation and is changed each time a 3D input device is read.

If the active input device is a 2D device such as the system mouse, the Active Z can be changed by the Z key-in and when an entity is locked onto.

It is recommended that the Use the Active Z parameter should be turned off when a 2D input device is active and turned on when a 3D input device is active.

During application start, one of the following warning dialogs will be displayed if the Use Active Z parameter setting might conflict with the current input device. The dialog may be used to chance the setting.

Warning dialog if the input device is 2D and the Use Active Z parameter is turned on

Warning dialog if the input device is 3D and the Use Active Z parameter is turned off

Local Commands

Set the Use Active Z parameter (ActZ=)

Sets the Use Active Z parameter. For example, ActZ=0 turns this parameter off and Act=1 turns this parameter on.
