Move CVs along, or parallel to, an arbitrary vector or plane

How to move CVs along any visible hull line, vector, or reference plane.

Show CVs on the picked objects

Click the Cv/Hull checkbox in the Display section of the Modeling control panel.

or do the following:

Choose ObjectDisplay > Control ❒.
Set Scope to Active and turn on the CVs checkbox.

If CVs are not displayed, clicking on the object(s) while inside the Transform CV tool automatically turns on all CVs and hulls. As soon as you choose a different tool, the CVs and hulls are turned off again.

Move CVs along, or parallel to, an arbitrary vector

Choose Control Panel > Transform CV.
In the Transform CV section of the control panel:
- Choose Move from the Transform menu.
- Choose PROJ from the left Mode menu to snap to a vector and move along it, or choose PARA to move parallel to a vector without snapping to it.
Pick the CV or CVs you want to move. To select additional CVs, hold and click them.
Press a mouse button on a hull line, reference vector, or reference plane and drag to constrain the CV movement.
