forcing an object to move
-
I don't know if forcing is the right term exactly but the best I could come up with.
I've had this problem before and it's been annoying, now it's a pain in *SS!. I have an object within a model that I can't seem to move along the Z axis. Nothing I do seems to work. I drew a line on the Z axis to grab it's end points but when I try to move this one object I can't snap to any of the normal grips. However any other object, line, face, thing in the model seems to move along the Z axis just find and dandy.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this?
Thanks,
Chris

Is this "object" a component?
If so, try right clicking on it and clicking "unglue"

Nope, it's neither a component nor group

try grouping it first. also if you press the up arrow on your keyboard while trying to move it should limit to blue axis moevment.

i suspect it was something like a cube on a flat surface, where the bottom face of the cube was a shared face with the surface under it, therefore it couldn't move up.
when you group it it separates the geometry from anything else.
