Move selection (x,y,z) : Here you specify, the distance in units, the move-button should move the selection with. These values can be both positive and negative. For instance; '+8 -16 0' will move the selection +8 units in X-direction, -16 units in Y-direction and 0 units in Z-direction, from the common center of the selection. Zoom factor : This value specify by which factor to enlarge/shrink your selection. You can't specify a value lower than '1', but you can specify floating point values like '1.75'. Shift Left/Right by : By which amount in units, the shif-button should change your selection. A negative value will shift (move) the selection to the left by the number of units specified, and a positive will shift the selection to the right. Rotation angle : The distance in degrees, the rotation-buttons should rotate your selection. Best values are from 1 to 180, since specifying anything above 180 or negative you could just use the other rotation-button. Linear Handle settings: Special settings for this editor's Linear Handles. Linear Handle Setting : larger value makes the editor's handle bigger & visa-versa, default is 4. Linear Rotation Speed : larger value causes the editor's handle to have faster rotation & visa-versa, default is .057 Skin-view Linear Setting : larger value makes the Skin-view's handle bigger & visa-versa, default is 4.
