Two-sided model movement

Post by nikstrecker »

Hello all,

I have imported an STL model into a two-sided project. How do I move both the top and bottom of the model simultaneously to a different position on my material? I seem to be able to only move the half of the model whose side I have toggled to in the 2D VIEW.

Thanks,
Nik

You have to move each side separately. The very first thing is do a 'Increment and Save (CTRL+ALT+S)' in the Files option. That saves the current version. Then I group each side so I don't lose any pieces. Then I use 'Move Selection - Relative' for each side. Then apply that move to the second side. Don't forget, it moves in a different direction, but the same amount. Then ungroup everything.
