More holon position tricks & tips.
1) Now go back and click on your memory spot so that you have the image prior to this last example. In this case what we want to do is move the entire group vertically while maintaining their relative position to each other. Very different than moving them all to the same vertical axis! Click your left mouse button in the X-Position box and while still holding your left mouse button down note that there is now a double arrow showing in the box. Still holding the mouse button down drag the numbers down until they reach -56.5. This moves the entire group, maintaining their relative position to each other laterally (horizontaly) to the left. Now using this same "hold and drag" technique change the Y position to 50. This moves the entire group verticaly but maintains the position relationship of the holons. Do the same "click and drag" technique with the Z positon and change to 100. Much different than when we simply entered the number before! Re-adjust the object size field to move the image completely back into the field of view in the right window and you should now see this image, which is a radical departure from the previous shape!
2) Note that these position changes do not simply move the image but can also radically change the shape and structure of the image. It is not the same as "dragging" the image in the view window to a different spot on the screen but actually causes the holons to "interact" in their relationship with each other.
3) We'll now continue to adjust the size and position of the holons as a group. Using the "click and drag" technique, change the Y Position to 25 and the Z postion to 120. You should now see this image.
4) Now for a couple of techniques that can come in handy! Deselect the holons by clicking on the minus sign button and then select the bottom rectangle holon by clicking on it. Directly below the right window you will see a small red button. By hovering your cursor over this you will see it says "Hide Holon". Click on this button. You should now see the image below.
5) Because the holons interact with each other, simply removing this holon will radically change the form of the image while "hiding" the holon only removes unwanted areas from view. To demonstrate, the image below is where the holon was removed instead of hiding.
6) Tip: You can still continue to manipulate the "hidden" holon which will change the image but continue to keep that holon area from view. Try selecting the hidden holon and changing some of the parameters to see how it continues to influence the image. Don't forget to use a memomry spot before doing this so that you can return to this point and continue the tutorial! Also try this hiding technique on the other holons and observe the results.
