The Modify Menu Part 1


The Modify menu is used for object manipulation and conversion. It is crack into 6 parts: transforms node assessment, miscellaneous, characteristic, conversion, and paint.
The transformation sub-menu contains the functions wanted to move, rotate, and scale your objects. In addition to right of entry through the drop-down menu and hotkeys, the move, rotate, and scale tools have enduring buttons in the Tool Box. By picking one of the transform tools, a manipulator will come into view for the collection.
The manipulator handles are color-coded to communicate to the X, Y, and Z axes.

Red represents X, green is for the Y axis, and blue corresponds to Z. When using a manipulator, the handle of the chosen axis will become yellow representative that it is at present active. When you click on a tool in the Tool Box, it uses the current settings for that exacting tool. To bring up the options for an exacting tool, you can either double click on an icon in the Tool Box to bring up the Attribute Editor or push and hold the keyboard hotkey while pressing the left mouse key to show a Marking Menu of the obtainable options.
To use the Move tool, select and drag an arrow on the manipulator to move the length of an exact axis. To move freely, click the yellow square at the middle of the manipulator and drag across the view plane. There are several coordinates systems you can use to move your selections in Maya. The default coordinate system is World. When World is chosen, the object is set to move the length of the world axes. Selecting Object will move your collection in object space. Local will align the object to match the parent object’s turning round. The Normal option allows you to move control vertices on a NURBS surface in the U and V instructions.
