Moving, Pulling, Twisting faces by using the Select (with default) tool in Creo Direct


Moving Faces
You can move a face(s) of a model by using the Select (with default) tool. Choose the Select (with default) tool and select the faces you want to move. Note that the faces you are selecting should form a close volume. After selecting the face to be moved, use the linear dragger of Co-Pilot to move the selected face(s).


Pulling and Twisting Faces
You can Pull and Twist a curved face by using the Select (with default) tool. Choose the Select (with default) tool and select the face to work with. Now, you can use the draggers of Co-Pilot to pull and rotate the face. You can use the Linear dragger for pulling and the Angular dragger to rotating the selected face.
