Select the XY move buttom menu entry.
Move the cursor to some location away from the menu area and select.

The as with the arb8 in the previous section, the ellipsoid is moved in the model space plane parallel to the plane of the screen so the key point (vertex V) is ``placed at'' the point corresponding to the cursor location. Note that there is no explicit control over the location of the point with respect to screen Z (depth in the viewing cube); the selected point has the same screen Z as the original point. The screen should look similar to Figure (eo-ellgxyz) .
