Hi ,
Trying my hand at 3d. I am having difficulty using 3d Move command.
I am only able to get my shaded solids to move in only xy plane. For some reason I am not able to get my boxes one on top of each other. I used first 2D rectangles - then ( PEDIT- join) poly line - SE Isometric view - Extrude. I checked Ortho ( off) Osnaps ( off ). What have I done or not done to get the solids one on top of each other using both drop down "Move " or the 3D operation " Move" -
Thanks in advance. Joferna

If you know the offset (e.g. 12.3), you can use the MOVE command and specify 0,0,12.3 as the offset.

Thanks, Vladimir,
Yes it works. I suppose this is the accurate and correct way of moving the objects up and down. But is there a way to do it if you want "free hand" - like drag & click for the 3 D for the Z axis ??. Its great that you guys are there to help us newbies to learn the subject better and well

Using OSnaps makes moving/placing objects a lot easier and more accurate. You should also learn to use the Dynamic UCS.

Thanks John, I think you are referring to ' move - select object - shift / right click - select base point snap - move object -shift/ right click - select osnap attachment on subject - and enter for accurate palcement .
How could one use dynamic UCS in this respect ?/ I am not very familiar with use of dynamic UCS. I like to learn from you if it is something easy & quick . If not give me some pointers and I will do it my self

Another option: ALIGN command.
