So I’m not certain what happened, but for some reason Carrara is no longer operating the way it used to with regards the XYZ movements. When I grab on the little arrows, it only moves the hot point, the object doesn’t follow. I have to click the “send object to hot point button”. I can also grab the object and move it around on the X and Y plane, but I can’t move it up and down.

I figure I must have accidentally changed the interface by mistake. Anyone know the fix for this? I tried shutting it off and restarting, but it still was messed up.

Thanks!

Nevermind. Got it. “Send to Origin” in Edit got it done.

HI BC Rice

It sounds like you may have hit “Caps Lock” which will Lock/Unlock the object hotspot to allow you to set the rotation point to some other part of the geometry,.
 
For example,. A door, would be a rectangle,. but would hinge at the edge, so you would move the hot point to the edge then hit caps lock to lock it , then you can use the rotate tools to open/close the door.
