Step 1. In the toolbar, click on the tool labelled “Place”.

Step 2. Then select the edge handle you would like on your case.

Step 3. The software will highlight the places that your edge handle can be placed on the case.

Step 4. Choose which position you would like the edge handle to be placed and hover your mouse over the green highlighted edge handle position, doing this will turn the edge handle red.

Step 5. Click the red edge handle to confirm the position and the edge handle will turn blue.

Step 6. The Camera will then rotate to focus on the edge you are placing your edge handle on.

Step 7. You can now fine tune the location of where you would like your edge handle to be placed which can be done 1 of 3 ways. These consist of:

Right/Left Measurement input ( located on the right hand side of the screen): Input the measurement that you require to be between the edge handle and the side of the case, as you input into one it will show you the measurement from the edge handle to the other side of the case. There is also a drop down box below the left and right input fields that is labelled “From”. This drop down box allows you to select where you would like the measurement for the edge handle location to be taken from. The options for this are the following:

Boundary: takes the measurement from the edge of the edge handle to the side of the case.

Centre: takes the measurement from the centre point of the edge handle to the side of the case.

Cuttout : takes the measurement from the cutout that will be made to fit the edge handle into, to the side of the case.

Fixed Point measurements (located across the top of the screen) : From the left to right the values show selectable default measurements that will place the edge handle the amount shown from the left or from the right side of the case, it also allows you to place the edge handle in the centre of the case.

Note: the options of where the measurement is taken from mentioned in the previous step also affect this tool and where the measurement is taken from.

Freestyle: clicking the edge handle and dragging it will allow you to place the edge handle wherever you desire. The edge handle will also snap or align with any other hardware you currently have on the case.

Step 8. Locate the selection of buttons that consist of 2 sets of arrows and a green tick and red cross.

Step 9. The arrows allow you to rotate your chosen edge handle.

Step 10. Once you have your edge handle in the location and orientation you require, you can now click on the green tick to confirm the installation of the edge handle into your case, or alternatively if you would like to cancel the operation you can select the red cross.
