Thanks, Frank. I had a look at the "Transform" and I do understand an object may be dragged on a given axis by grabbing on the tool-handles.
However, I was looking for a way to lock the movement so that just by dragging anywhere in the window, the movement of the selected object would be constrained to one or two axes. This is useful for moving areas, or points of an object using another object as a guide and while the selected object is out of sight.
I hope this makes sense to you.
This seems to be a separate issue:I cannot click-drag vector bezier handles in an isolated direction.
I cannot click-drag vector bezier handles in an isolated direction. To work on a vectors, I must use a none-3D window, which is often undesirable in my case.
Check the "clip near" factor in the camera properties.
hold shift key while dragging let´s you draw an hard edge instead a smooth curve.
Ah, at last I understand your problem.
The problem isn't that C3D doesn't let you click and drag in a single action, it's that it requires one click to "activate" a pane, which is a minor annoyance.
Seems Babylon is around. I don´t understand any issue you both mentioned, not to say things couldn´t become better putting them on wishlists - I try it every x-mas again and again. So come on; give me some nice briefing on a spline project and I ´ll fire a nice video tut on that.I am nonetheless happy to have been understood, even this far down into the thread. Now, if I may, I would say such feature would need to achieve a single-step transformation (borrowing from another 3D application I care not to mention), whereby click-dragging on the handle-end, or polygon point, both selects and moves the element in a predefined direction in a single step.

Of course, a tutorial will be great, but, a tutorial would imply this method is currently available. Is it?
Simply no, because I didn´t missed that feature - believe it or not (btw. the locks for the transform tool are gone nearly two years from now)Frank
