Working with Holon Positions While this image is an interesting one I want to reduce some of the "bulk" of the shape. Change the value of Scale to 4.70 and you should see the image below. ![]() Now that I have an image I like we will begin to experiment with the position of the holons individually and collectively. Make sure only the large center holon is selected (active) and change the value of Y-Rotate to 355.0 and Y-Position to 25. This rotates the holon around the vertical axis and also moves the holon up vertically. You can now see a slight change in the image below. ![]() Now we will move all three holons as a group. Select all holons by clicking on the button with a + sign directly below the windows. Here is a very important technique for moving the holons as a group. Click on a memory spot to mark the image shown above before trying this since we want to return to this position! Now change the Y position to 50. Note that all holons moved to the same vertical position. If you simply change the number in the Y position box it will move all holons to that vertical plane. ie; They will all be lined up on the same line. We do not want to do that! (At least not in this demonstration!) You should now see the image below: ![]() 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 the image below, which is a radical departure from the previous shape! ![]() 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.
