    • Switch to the top view . Hover the cursor over the white circle area on the preview model, and the cursor will change to a target icon . You can then move the model on the plane, thereby changing the X and Y axis coordinates of the model. If you need to change the Z axis coordinate, you still need to use the above-mentioned function panel.

  • Move Multiple Models: Select multiple models, then move them together in the same direction and distance.

  • Move To Center: Click to put the chosen model on the center of printing platform.
