I’ve been wondering if you can take, say, four or five objects in a group and change their distance from each other accurately without screwing with the object dimensions?
That’s about as clear as I can be… if you don’t know what I’m talking about I’ll try to explain it better
Hi,
Yes that can be done and is pretty simple, but I cant remember how. Lots of help, right. I was playing with that a couple weeks ago.
Ill see if I can find the answer for you.
Later:
I searched around and couldn’t find what I was looking for. So I am sorry. You could move each separately using vertex snap to vertex mode and that would at least keep them on the same plane.
OK I found it:
In object mode select the button left of the hand on the 3D header. The ‘move object centers only’ button.
In object mode, un-select all your objects, then hold the shift key and select the objects you want to move/slide apart.
Now press S key to scale them.
The objects will move away from the last object you selected, which will remain in place.
You can use the x, y, z keys to constrain them to an axis as they scale away too.
I hope I understood your question and that helps you.
Moving objects won’t affect Dimensions at all, only Location coordinates. Dimension is the object’s size in Blender Units.
