Moving a population of points in 1 defined direction.

[[Jo...]]

Would there be a way to move a set of Nominal Points in a single direction, e.g. only the X direction?

In other words, would it be possible to change only the X coordinate of a set of defined points with python? 

Thank you,

There is no need to use Python to do this. You can select all of the points and then use Operations -> Alignments -> Single Element Transformation -> Set Matrix

from here you can move the collection of points a set distance in X.

If you need it scripted in python I would record these actions and then adjust the distance as needed.

Thank you for the feedback Tyler. Your suggested method does work.

I am still curious thou, would there be a way to only reference and then change a single coordinate of a point via python?

I just realized the answer to my previous question.

 

Thank you for the inputs,
