This moves the left plane to the left (positive values move the plane to the right)
and copies the rectangle, moving the copy as well. There are also a lot of keyboard
commands associated with moving grid planes. You can hold down the Option
(Mac OS) or Alt key (Windows) and drag a grid plane control to move the grid
plane and copy the content. Dragging a grid plane control while pressing the Shift
key moves the objects with the grid plane without copying them.
Tip
If you select an object or objects on the grid plane first and then drag the
grid plane control while holding down the Shift key, only the selected ob-
jects move with the grid plane.
