3. Point to the X, Y, or Z axis of the Move gizmo but don't click it. As you hover over an axis,
a motion axis vector appears indicating the direction your object will move if you click
the axis, as shown in Figure 20.69.

4. Click an axis while the vector appears and then enter a distance along the axis, or click a
point to complete the move.

Alternatively, in step 3, you can hover over and click a plane indicator on the gizmo to
restrain the motion along one of the planes defined by two of the axes (Figure 20.70).
