Hi,
I have a cylinder that isn’t aligned to the grid, and I would like to Move/Duplicate it along the Normal-axis by using the 3D Manipulator tool. Manually I can move and rotate it along the axis, but is there also a way to do this with the keypad, so if let’s say the cylinder is 3 units long, I could press G+Y+3 and it would go to a position right behind the original one. When I try this, the cylinder moves along the ‘Global’ Y-axis instead of the ‘Normal’ Y-axis.
Look for instance at the attached images I can use the green arrow to move the object along a virtual green Y-axis, but I can’t fill in any numbers, see upper left corner where it’s shows where the object moves in the Global Grid.
