Changing Global Coordinates of a Node

Changing Global Coordinates of a Node - 06/28/11 06:34 AM

I have two "sub models" within one model and mistakenly located them about 800 ft apart, which makes viewing the model a chore. I would like to bring the models closer together by changing the global coordinates of the start node of one of the sub-models.

Is there any way to change the global coordinates of an already established node?

Thanks!

Yes, just click the "globe" button on the tool bar.

Richard - When I click the globe button, it wants to change the coordinates of "Node 10". However, I want to leave that node where it is. Is there a method to change nodes further on in the input?

Thanks!

Just click [ok] on node 10, the starting node of the next disconnected segment will be displayed.

That did it! I did not realize that the dialog would cycle through the nodes...

Thanks very much, Richard!
