<p>In the top left of your workspace (still inside the editor) you will have a dropdown, in that dropdown there is a folder called bodies, open that and select the body you want. You can then move the selected body.</p>

<p>Yes, there is a "select" tool in the toolbar next to "make". You can use select filters to select components, bodies and faces.</p>

I'd like to mirror a triangular prism I made. However, whenever I select it I am only able to select the faces or sides.

Is there a way to select the whole 3D object to move or mirror it?
