Off grid

I'm trying to do the pot construction phases but i've come to a situation where moving the object around causes it wonder with no purpose or dirction, for it cannot go where the user had intended to.
Any suggestions?

tnx

Hi Duga,

What pot construction?

[sepo]

I am wondering what kind of "pot" is that....must be a strong one

[Gaieus]

C'mon...

Duga,
You can move geometry relative to...clicked point by typing <X,Y,Z> values followed by [Enter]
Or to absolute locations by typing [X,Y,Z] followed by [Enter]
(this is relative to the unchanged origin)

Or use the arrow keys or [Shift] to constrain a move on one of the axes, a line or even a face.

Or send the pot by airmail

[sepo]

Sorry ... I just could not resist...no insult was meant.

Wo3man - u understood me perfecly!
Tnx a million!

Wo3Dan - tnx!
I've drawn this shape:



I'd like to know how to remove a piece to make room for the lead (top) and the same at the bottom..

hi James, tnx..



by turning it i managed to center it and I request some guidance as to how does one cut it off..

[Hazza]

"Edit -> Intersect -> Intersect with model"

[duxgga]

Tnx! Being a newbe I keep forgetting about it..

[duxgga]

This shape shows as if this is perfect center; well, it isn't.


.
What can i do to correct??

[Gaieus]

Hu Duga,

With that particular shape you can also turn on hidden geometry (View menu) and delete the unnecessary parts.

[duxgga]

I'd like the shorter part to become the lead..
Now it is satisfactory:



The 1st question is how does one re-adjust the axes.
The 2nd question refers to the circle object. I'd like to move the indicated part.
Tnx
