Translates elements to an absolute position or by a relative amount. Translation can be performed on all axes, or limited to a specific axis. It can also snap to the 3D grid.

| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| InputObjs | String |
List of objects or components to translate. Default Value: Selected elements |
| X | Double |
X position Default Value: 0.0 |
| Y | Double |
Y position Default Value: 0.0 |
| Z | Double |
Z position Default Value: 0.0 |
| Delta | siDeltaMode |
Specifies whether the translation is relative or absolute Default Value: siRelative |
| RefMode | siRefMode |
The reference mode to translate within Default Value: siLocal |
| Center | siCenterMode |
Specifies whether to translate the object or its center. Note: If an object does not have a moveable center, then translating its center moves the object. Default Value: siObj |
| AxesFilter | siAxesFilter |
Determines which of the x,y,z arguments are valid (used with Absolute mode only). Default Value: siXYZ |
| Snap | Boolean |
Specifies whether to snap the translation values to the nearest 3D grid increment Default Value: False |
| SnapReference | String | Object Name reference frame for snap filtering. |
| SnapFilter | siAxesFilter |
Optional x,y,z absolute snap filter Default Value: siXYZ |
| SplitLocalComponents | Boolean |
Specifies whether to translate all components independently in Local mode Default Value: False |
| PropTagOnly | Boolean |
Specifies whether to restrict proportional to tagged components only Default Value: False |
| Pivot | Boolean |
If true the specified global pivot point is used for snapping Default Value: False |
| PivotX | Double |
X position of the pivot point Default Value: 0.0 |
| PivotY | Double |
Y position of the pivot point Default Value: 0.0 |
| PivotZ | Double |
Z position of the pivot point Default Value: 0.0 |
| ConstructionMode | siConstructionMode |
In which construction mode will the deformation be applied. This only applies when translating geometry components. Default Value: Use the current construction mode |
| SlideComponents | Boolean |
Constrain components to surface during translation. Works like shrink wrap for points/polygons while edges are constrained along adjacent polygon edges. Currently only supported for mesh objects. Default Value: False |
