The cuboid can be edited in multiple ways: by dragging points, by dragging certain faces or by dragging planes.
|
||
|
|
First notice that there is a face that is painted with gray lines only, let us call it the front face.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can move the cuboid by simply dragging the shape behind the front face.
|
||
|
|
The cuboid can be extended by dragging on the point in the middle of the edges.
|
||
|
|
The cuboid can also be extended up and down by dragging the point at the vertices.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To draw with perspective effects it should be assumed that the front face is the closest to the camera.
|
||
|
|
To begin simply drag the points on the vertices that are not on the gray/front face while holding `Shift`.
|
||
|
|
The cuboid can then be edited as usual.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you wish to reset perspective effects, you may right click on the cuboid,
|
||
|
|
and select `Reset perspective` to return to a regular cuboid.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The location of the gray face can be swapped with the adjacent visible side face.
|
||
|
|
You can do it by right clicking on the cuboid and selecting `Switch perspective orientation`.
|
||
|
|
Note that this will also reset the perspective effects.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Certain faces of the cuboid can also be edited,
|
||
|
|
these faces are: the left, right and dorsal faces, relative to the gray face.
|
||
|
|
Simply drag the faces to move them independently from the rest of the cuboid.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also use cuboids in track mode, similar to rectangles in track mode
|
||
|
|
({{< ilink "/docs/manual/basics/track-mode-basics" "basics" >}} and
|
||
|
|
{{< ilink "/docs/manual/advanced/track-mode-advanced" "advanced" >}}) or
