2DeckTools ®User Guide20Dragging Deck ElementsTo move a segment or endpoint of a deck level, click the deck once (with the Select/ModifyShape tool active) to select it, then click the segment or endpoint you want to move andclick-and-drag it to its new location.Tip: There is a good reason why you click once to select an entire deck level before you clickagain to select a segment or endpoint. For instance, if you have more than two deck levelsthat overlap, selecting one deck level first is an easy way to inform DeckTools which of theoverlapping segments or points you mean to select.• When you move an endpoint or segment, it and any adjacent segments affected by themove turn green.• By default, endpoints and segments “snap to the grid.” However, you can change the deckposition or size in finer increments using the instructions below for nudging.F-DTUSERGD12 ©2012 Simpson Strong-Tie Company Inc.Nudging Deck ElementsWhen you have the Grid Snap option on (see page 17), any deck level endpoint you createappears on the gridline intersection nearest to where you clicked. It is rounded off to the nearestfoot (the Grid Size is set to the default of 12"; see page 48 for more information). You can,however, adjust the deck level dimensions by smaller increments, such as fractions of inches,by “nudging.”To nudge the deck level dimensions, click a deck level segment or endpoint (with the Select/Modify Shape tool active) to select it and use the arrow keys to nudge in any direction,corresponding to the arrow key. Use the following chart to nudge in the desired increment.
