We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

  3. Is it possible to Move solids in 3D/XYZ space, ie like the Move Body tool, but going to a specific point (not the world origin), keeping the same orientation? (without using Align/setting constraints, and needing to switch them off again)

      The move tool has an option called “Enter XYZ coordinates” (the icon looks like a little XYZ next to the ruler option) This will allow a user to move something to a desired position. NOTE: the move tool itself will move to that desired position so anchor it to the correct location on the body. Another way is to use “Upto” option and select a desired position to move solids upto that location.
