To more precisely place a component or an object, we can use guides to help us.
So let's first take the selectable and if we close out of the components that we're in, I'm going to
scroll in.
I'm going to double click to open up that component and a double click again.
And then I'm going to single click or you can just keep double clicking just to make sure you're in
this object.
Also, if everything else around is in your way, just go to view component edit and click hydrous of
model.
And that's really going to hide everything except the active group or component that you're on.
So let's make up a rule here.
Let's say with the tape measure, I'm going to click on the vertical edge and I'm going to go to the
left because I want this knob to be two inches away from the edge here.
Then I also want to go from the top edge down two inches.
And I do the same thing over here since we have to draw.
So I'm going to go to the right type in two inches.
So we have this X now.
We have this intersection that's perfect because now we can take the select tool.
We can single click on the object and then we can click on the move tool.
The move tool has these anchor points on an object so you can see it's got the outer points here.
If I actually press alt in windows, see how it switches, if I press alt again switches one more time.
So now it gives me the center right there.
That's the midpoint that we can't see it.
It's the midpoint of the hour end here and that's the center point that we actually want.
So I'll click there and then pull that, pull that up.
But notice as I do that, see how it actually didn't click on that point and actually threw it between
also two Mac users.
AWALT in Windows is option on a Mac.
So you're going to press and release option on a Mac.
So what I want you to do, because we can't see that point there.
I'm going to click packages just here to now.
We'll be able to more easily click through on that snapping point.
You wanted to you could try x ray mode.
The packages usually looks a little bit nicer.
So, again, I'm hovering over it.
I'm going to press alt.
I'm going to press out again and I press at one more time because I want that snapping point.
You can see how see how it changes in highlighting right there, says Origin.
And that's what we want right there.
So I'm going to click on that point now.
I can move it to the intersection, if that is really troubling for you.
What I find easier to is actually move it off of the object altogether.
Right?
Get it away from the object orbit so that you can see so you can actually see this side of it.
And then that way you can move from that point to there.
So with that one set, I'm going to turn off x ray mode or turn off back edges, depending on what you
had on and a press control to toggle it to copy.
I'm going to copy this over to here.
So notice I'm not copying on the object.
I'm actually copying from the guide point.
I'm going to click and release on the guide point up here.
I'm going to move in the green axis until I hit the edge near perfect.
So our guides look pretty good there.
We can now actually go up to edit and we can click delete guides.
That's going to delete the guides within the model.
And then I want to show the rest of the model again.
So let's go up to view click on component edit and let's uncheck hydrous of model.
Well then take the select tool and press escape to close out a bookcase.
Wouldn't be a bookcase without books.
So in the next video, let's go ahead and add some books.
