is there an easy way to grip edit multiple line/wire vertices?

Post by shredator »

Probably a dumb question...
Say I have multiple lines and dwires that converge at a point, and I want them all to converge at a different point. Is there a quick way to edit the locations of the verticies of all of the lines at once?

The only way Ive figured out how to do this is to select the lines one at a time, and press the edit button, grab the vertex, snap it to the new point, and repeat for each line or wire.

I also tried selecting all of the lines and boolean union-ing them, but that didnt work.
Also tried selecting all of the lines and 'upgrading' them, before grip editing, but that didnt work either.

Thanks for any help! :D

Hi @shredator.

Each Draft Line has an End property that controls its end point position in 3D space. Therefore yes there is an easy way to achieve what you are after. Select all lines in the tree view and after change the End property coordinates in one single step for all of them.
