- [Instructor] If you want to move individual parts,
or move groups, we've already seen
how to do that a little bit.
I want to get into it a little bit more.
So up here at the top of the screen,
notice I have the Selection Tool.
So, I can choose individual models,
individual parts, or individual groups.
Let's go ahead and select the individual Part.
And, go ahead and choose something like
this part right over here.
Now, with that selected, I can use this triad here
and move that part around on my screen.
I also have the ability over here to adjust
some of those transformation controls, as far as the scale,
the rotation, and the position of that part.
So, if I just wanted to move that in certain direction,
of course I can grab this and move it.
And notice that value is changing of where
that component happens to be
in relationship to the other components.
So, I can move things around very easily.
I can then freeze them.
Now, I can do the exact same thing
by choosing an entire group.
Now, we established this G1 group before.
I can do the same thing and move things around in that.
I can scale it.
I can operate on that entire group
with the same controls if you'd like to.
But, if you're working on just individual parts
like this one over here, you've got a lot of control
to change things around, move things around.
And, even change some things like textures
and things like that.
And, the other thing I want to point out, while we're here,
is we can always bring in more parts to our assembly.
Even though this is one SOLIDWORKS assembly
that we imported, don't feel that you're stuck
with just this.
I could bring in as many parts as I'd like
into this rendering or into this scene.
So, I can just click down here
on Import Model and bring in as many parts
or other types of assemblies.
You'll then have multiple things you can interact with,
all in the same scene.
And if you don't like the model,
you can then change the model inside of SOLIDWORKS
or some other program.
And, then, just bring it back in to Visualize
and you'll have the ability to keep working with it
and all of your scenes and groups
and stuff like that will stay the same.
Obviously, if you delete these parts,
those groups will go away.
But, if you bring it in again
you can usually reestablish them or have multiple copies
of the same assembly inside of your scene.
