How do you move an angled face along the global axis?

How do you move an angled face along the global axis? Whenever I move an angled face, I can only move it along the local axis.

Thank you.

Hi,

It could be that you're doing a Drag Face (extrude) operation instead of using the actual Move tool - Drag Face is the default tool that FormIt starts if you just select a face. You can override this if you hit the M key or right-click the face and choose the Move option in the context menu. Then you can move the face in any direction.

We can talk about local and global coordinate systems too, but I wanted to make sure your issue is not the above before we get into that.

Thanks!
