Tips

Moving an object
If an unlocked object refuses to move with click-drag, you can reposition the reluctant object, with the mouse, (without click-drag).
Set your viewpoint to Top-Down mode.
- In the OPT window, double-click in the coordinates area.
- In the FS window, single-click at the location you require.
- Object will 'jump' to that location.
- Zoom in.
- Repeat as required.
