Move/rotate single face

[thburn]

Hi,

I watched this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5W35Up4Sz0

and I wanted to learn from it. So I created a simple cylinder in 'Model' mode.
As isn the video presented I clicked the upper face of the cylinder, clicked the right mousebutton and selected the 'Move' command.

But then my whole cylinder gets selected. Now I can only move the whole cylinder but not that single top face as shown in the video.

Now you say I can use the pull/push tool. Yes of course. But the 'move' tool shown in the video offers simultanously to move AND rotate the face with a single manipulator which is very comfortable.

Why the whole cylinder gets selected after activating the move tool?

What I am missing?

I think you may have figured this one out on your own based upon your other posts. I think you are looking for the Edit Face Command. Let me know if there are further questions.

Kind Regards,

Actually, the Move command works very well for this, but only if you are in the Direct Modeling environment. You can select an individual face or group of faces and move or rotate them.

I will suggest that for someone new to Fusion, working in Direct modeling (no history capture) is probably an easier introduction to the tools. There are many very powerful features that aren't yet enabled in the History Capture.

Hi Oceanconcepts,

thanks for reply, I know now that there is a 'direct modelling' mode if I switch off the time line.

This was not clear to me in beginning.

Thanks!
