Is it possible to move a group of material blocks at once?
I just built a frame motorcycle and was pretty happy with the look of it...until I saw the front wheel was higher than the rear wheel. Since the front wheel is at the edge of the model, I can't just move it forward and down to get it to align properly with the rear wheel.

I tried looking through help and couldn't find a way to move a large group of material blocks as a unit, and the frame itself was time-consuming to form (a diagonal line of blocks, placed one at a time (thankfully mirrored)). The frame itself was 90% of the work, so redrawing it would be massively time-consuming and non-trivial. If I have to do it again...

...then I'll have just wasted an hour and a half of work. :steamsad:

It doesn't make sense that you can't just move these blocks back a little, especially since I have the room. I've gotta be missing something...

And if that's not possible, if anyone has a suggestion in a different vein that might save me doing the entire thing over again, I'm all ears. I'm up for anything if it means I don't have to do it over again from scratch. Because right now, that's the only solution I can think of and if that's the case, then I might just give up on it entirely. :steamsad:

Not that i know of.

However, if you get creative with mirrors you can rebuild an object or pieces rather quickly Though you might have to delete half if it's mirrored to make room. What i tend to do is:
Set the mirror to be away from the object,
highlight parts you want to keep and extrude them 1 tile (shift+direction).
This will create a copy elsewhere. Disable mirror and delete the old one then repeat to line things up.

Try combinations of XY or maybe XZ to move things across and up or even flip it upside down and backwards to make cram it into tight space

Edit: If someone else has a better idea, i am all ears as well.

I'm...not 100% sure I understand this, but I'll give it a try later. Thanks. :fhappy:
