Transforming inside the Working Area

When you wish to set transform keys for a character or a prop inside the working area, then just use the Mouse Dragging and Transform Tool methods.

Mouse Dragging

After you select a character or a prop, a transforming handle box will automatically appear.

Click and Drag with the left-mouse button on a different area in order to perform different transformations. A transform key will then be added:

• Dragging inside of the box: Moving in the working area.
  
• Dragging on the icon : Moving on the Z axis.
• Dragging outside of the box: Rotating the character or the prop.
  
• Dragging the four side-points: Resizing the character or the prop.
• Dragging the four corner-points: Resizing the character or the prop while keeping the same aspect ratio.
  Please note that the four corner-points proportionally scale the element while the points on the sides do a non-proportional scale.

If you need to set transform keys with an exact value, simply select a character or prop and adjust the parameters via the Property Bar.

• X, Y, Z: Enter these values to decide the location of the character or the prop.
• W, H: Enter these values to decide the Width and the Height of the character or the prop.
• Lock/Unlock Ratio: Press this button to toggle the Keep Aspect Ratio on/off.
• R: Enter value to decide the orientation of the character or the prop.
• Switch between the and buttons to change the path from curve to a straight line.
  
• Zero Key: Press this button to set a neutral transform key (0 value) to each numerical field in the panel.
