*A:M User* Roger Posted March 19, 2012 *A:M User* Share Posted March 19, 2012 I've noticed when I am trying to move part of a model by using the arrow keys, instead of being able to nudge that part in whatever direction I want it to go, I end up cycling through different parts of the model? I'm not sure why this happens, I hit the "N" key first to go into Translate mode, and then try hitting the down arrow to move the part down, but instead of the part moving, I end up cycling to another part of the model. It is starting to drive me loopy, since I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted March 19, 2012 Hash Fellow Share Posted March 19, 2012 If you select a Group or other element in the PWS then use the cursor keys you will change your selection to whatever is listed above or below in the PWS. Re-click on the selected thing in the model window after you select it from the PWS, then the cursor keys will nudge in the model window.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted March 19, 2012 Hash Fellow Share Posted March 19, 2012 I have been caught by that dual functionality occasionally. The other one that I a reminded of is the fact that the 7 8 9 0 keys can either set a view mode or set a channel interpolation mode depending on what window you are in.

Gerry Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 yep, a lot of keys are "window-dependent" for want of a better term. I've set keyframe interpolations when all I wanted was to switch views and it confused the heck out of me the first few (dozen) times!
