Blender Day 16 : Blender16 tip2 at moving object in blender

Okay, let's continue to talk about the tip. Once you grab something, you can move it along a specific axis by pressing the corresponding axis name (X, Y, Z). For example, if you only want to move along the Z axis, you can press Z. And if you don't want the object to move along the Z axis, but only along the X and Y axes, you can use Shift + Z. This allows you to move freely in the X and Y directions.

Let's try it out. First, press G to grab the object, then press Shift + Z. You will see two lines on the screen: a green line and a red line. You can move the object anywhere within this space. Note that if your mouse moves off the screen, it will reappear at the bottom. You can continue moving the object. To bring it back, move to the bottom left corner, and it will reappear at the top.

This method of movement is quite convenient. By using Shift + Z, you eliminate the possibility of moving along the Z axis. The same logic applies if you want to move without affecting the X axis. Just press Shift + X, and you can move within this 2D space.

Overall, it's a neat tool. Once you click it, it stays active. This tip can be very helpful in accurately positioning your objects.
