5 \n To produce a \b Translation in the <b>Main Menu</b> select
6 <b>Operations - > Transformation - > Translation</b>
8 This Operation makes a translation of an \b Object. To translate a
9 shape you need to define the base shape and the coordinates of the
10 vector of translation. <b>Create a copy</b> checkbox allows to keep the
11 initial object, otherwise it will be removed.
12 \n The \b Result of all operations will be any \b GEOM_Object.
14 \n Firstly you can define an \b Object and the vector coordinates along the
16 \n <b>TUI Command:</b> <em>geompy.MakeTranslation(Shape, DX, DY,
17 DZ),</em> where Shape is a shape to be translated, DX, DY, DZ are
18 components of translation vector.
19 \n <b>Arguments:</b> Name + one or several objects + 3 values (coordinates).
20 \n <b>Advanced option:</b>
21 \ref restore_presentation_parameters_page "Set presentation parameters and subshapes from arguments".

25 \n Secondly you can define an \b Object and the start and the end points
27 \n <b>TUI Command:</b> <em>geompy.MakeTranslationTwoPoints(Object, Point1, Point2)</em>
28 \n <b>Arguments:</b> Name + one or several objects + 2 vertices
29 \n <b>Advanced option:</b>
30 \ref restore_presentation_parameters_page "Set presentation parameters and subshapes from arguments".

34 \n Finally you can define an \b Object and the vector. The object will be translated by the length of the vector.
35 \n <b>TUI Command:</b> <em>geompy.MakeTranslationVector(Object, Vector)</em>
36 \n <b>Activate Distance</b> checkbox and <b>Distance</b> field allow defining the custom distance of translation.
37 \n <b>TUI Command </b> for translation by vector and custom distance: <em>geompy.MakeTranslationVectorDistance(Object, Vector, Distance)</em>
38 \n <b>Arguments:</b> Name + one or several objects + 1 vector.
39 \n <b>Advanced option:</b>
40 \ref restore_presentation_parameters_page "Set presentation parameters and subshapes from arguments".
