Certain 3D objects, including 3D polygons, NURBS curves, and NURBS surfaces, can be reshaped with free-form movement using the Reshape tool. When the tool's Transform mode, or any of the move vertex primary modes available for reshaping a NURBS surface, is active, 3D dragger submodes allow you to perform a variety of operations on these objects.

Description |
|
Translate and Rotate
|
Activates the Translate and Rotate 3D dragger with linear, planar, and rotational handles to reshape the object by moving vertices |
|
Scale
|
Activates the Scale 3D dragger with linear and planar handles that reshape the object by scaling vertices |
|
Re-position
|
Repositions the 3D dragger without affecting the selected object; see Repositioning the reshape 3D dragger. Because free-form movements are performed relative to the 3D dragger's center, some operations can only be completed if the 3D dragger is repositioned away from a selected vertex. |
|
Align to 3D Polygon
Align to Curve
Align to Surface
|
Keeps the 3D dragger aligned to the object |
|
Align to Working Plane
|
Keeps the 3D dragger aligned to the working plane; see Concept: Understanding the working plane |
See Reshaping 3D polygons with Transform mode, Reshaping NURBS curves with Transform mode, and Reshaping NURBS surfaces for more information about how to reshape each of these objects.
