Friends:

For some reason when I create a new object and it appears at the origin I
can not longer translate it in the Y axis using the translate mouse movment.
When I type into the box for the Y axis the object moves up vertically, but
when I try to move it with the mouse it only moves in the X Z plane. I have
no idea why this started working this way other than I made some CSG
objects.

thanks

Mitch

I think this has something to do with the freeze parameter.  You (or someone
else) may have locked, or limited, movement on that axis.

I meant that it won't let me move in the Z axis (up and down vertically).
Turns out I can't move ANY object now up or down vertically with the mouse.
I can't find any way that Freeze affects it, if I click Freeze it brings up
a dialog box and I don't see anything on it that would prevent me from
moving any object in the Z axis.

Stumped.

Could you post the MDL file?  (Or mail it to me if it's larger than 5K.)

Okay I fixed it, I must have accidently hit the Z key which freezes the Z
axis. Y freeze the Y axis and so on. Nice feature but easy to get into
trouble with if you are a keyboard banger like me.
