3D Editor: How to Move and Resize Lumber

Adjusting Lumber in Your Design

When working with your design, you’ll often need to tweak the position and dimensions of each piece of lumber. The process is nearly identical on iPhone and iPad; Mac users will substitute a right-click for a long press.

Accessing Transformation Options

iPhone & iPad

Long-press any piece of lumber to open a contextual menu with:
  • Resize
  • Rotate
  • Move

Mac

Right-click the piece of lumber to reveal the same options.

How to Move Lumber

  1. Select “Move” from the contextual menu.
  2. Drag or enter values along the x, y, and z axes to reposition.
  3. Axis Markers (red = x, green = y, blue = z) can be toggled on/off:
  • Go to Settings
  • Toggle Show Axis Markers

How to Resize Lumber

  1. Select “Resize” from the contextual menu.
  2. By default, the anchor point is set to the center of the lumber:
  • Changing width will expand/contract equally in both directions.

Custom Anchor Points

Width Adjustment

  • Left Anchor: Left edge fixed; width grows to the right.
  • Right Anchor: Right edge fixed; width grows to the left.

Height Adjustment

  • Top Anchor: Top edge fixed; height grows downward.
  • Bottom Anchor: Bottom edge fixed; height grows upward.

Depth (Length) Adjustment

  • Positive Z Anchor: Positive Z side fixed; extends toward negative Z.
  • Negative Z Anchor: Negative Z side fixed; extends toward positive Z.
These anchors give you precise control, ensuring every adjustment fits perfectly into your woodworking design.
