Occasionally when trying to move actors to make an exploded view, you may run into a situation where the default directions that the “Gizmo” offers you to move the actor do not match what is needed in reality. See the example below.
- Desired view
- Default Move direction
To perform the move as desired, make use of “Curve Detection Mode”. This causes the Gizmo to orient to the geometry selected. You can then drag using the Gizmo arrows as you normally would.NOTE: remember that pushing the TAB key while hovering the cursor over an actor will temporarily ghost/hide that actor so you can select through it.
