Model Editor Handle

A Model Editor Handle appears when a Graphical Selection is present. The Model Editor handle is used to manipulate the position and orientation of the entire Graphical Selection.

Note: If the element is marked as Read-Only, the selection is highlighted using a red line (rather than a green line):

The Model Editor Handle is a collection of individual graphical manipulation handles grouped together. The Model Editor Handle can be used to move the entire Graphical Selection to a new position or rotate the entire Graphical Selection through an angle about a selected axis.

This combination of direct graphical manipulation handles offers you the ability to move selected items constrained in a direction or to lie in a plane, or rotate the selection about an axis.

The display color of the Model Editor Handle can be modified. Refer to Animation and Color Display Options for further information.
