Arbitrary axis

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to select an arbitrary axis?

They don't seem to be "clickable" like the X,Y,Z axis.

I want to move the the arbitrary axis in X direction if possible.

Hi @Anonymous ,

You can edit user defined structural axes by right clicking one and going to object properties. Then in the structural axis modification window you can choose where to move the axis to. Have a look at this topic;

Arbitrary Axis is not editable or clickable or even selectable .

You mean, the global XYZ Axes??
What for?

No, not the global axis. The Arbitrary axis. The one you define using whichever two nodes you choose. It's in the Axis menu when you can choose either:

Cartesian, Cylindrical or Arbitrary. Well, the arbitrary one seems unselectable.
