Grab/Move

Mode: Object and Edit modes

Hotkey: G or Gestures

Menu: Object/Mesh/etc. » Transform » Grab/Move or Grab/Move on Axis

Description

One of the fastest ways to move things in 3D space is with G. Pressing this hotkey will enter the “grab/move” transformation mode where the selected object or data is moved according to the mouse pointer’s location. The distance from the mouse pointer to the manipulated object has no effect.

The header of the 3D Window displays the distance you are moving.

Options

Cancel the move, and return the object or data to its original location.
