Move an object Selection Just click on an object on the Stage window to select it. If the object is nested within a group, click on the object holding down the Option key to select it. If the object is nested within a group and you click on it without holding down the Option key, you will select its root parent group. Double click again on the object until you select it through its parents chain. Kinemac makes a difference between the modifier key during the selection (click) and during the drag. Therefore, when selecting an object on the Stage window, please firstly click on the object without holding down any modifier key, then later, without releasing the mouse button, if you need to press some modifier key (e.g. the Command key to resize the object), press the modifier keys, and drag. Translate an object Click on the object without holding down any modifier key then drag it horizontally (X axis) and vertically (Y axis). Also press the Shift key if you want to constrain the translation along one axis only. To translate the object along the Z axis, click on the object without holding down any modifier key then hold down the Option key and drag the mouse vertically. Please note that the object doesn't change its size. It simply goes closer or farther from your point of view (if you are using the default camera). If you use the trackpad, select the object then hold down the Function key and two-fingers-swipe up-down or left-right to move the object along the x and y axes. Add the Shift key to constrain the movement along the predominant axis only. Hold down Function+Option keys and drag to move the object along the z axis. Rotate an object Click on the object without holding down any modifier key then hold down the Control key and drag it horizontally (rotate the Y axis) and vertically (X axis). Also press the Shift key if you want to constrain the rotation along one axis only. To rotate the object along the Z axis, click on the object without holding down any modifier key then hold down the Control & Option keys and drag the mouse horizontally. If you use the trackpad, select the object then hold down the Function+Control keys and two-fingers-swipe up-down or left-right to rotate the object around the x and y axes. Add the Shift key to constrain the rotation around the predominant axis only. Hold down Function+Control+Option keys and drag to rotate the object around the z axis. Resize an object Click on the object without holding down any modifier key then hold down the Command key and drag it horizontally to modify its X size and vertically to modify its Y size. Also press the Shift key if you want to constrain the resize along one axis only. To resize the object along the Z axis, click on the object without holding down any modifier key then hold down the Control & Option keys and drag the mouse vertically. To resize all the 3 dimensions (X, Y and Z) proportionally, click on the object without holding down any modifier key then hold down the Command & Control keys and drag the mouse horizontally. If you use the trackpad, select the object then hold down the Function key and two-fingers-pinch to resize the object proportionally on the 3 axes. Add the x key to resize the x axis only, the y key to resize the y axis only or the z key to resize the z axis only. Pan and resize an image/movie texture upon an object surface Select the object on the Stage window then open the Textures Options window pressing Command-5. Set Area to Crop and assign the origin and size to the texture on that surface.
