Shifting Points In a Direction
You can use a selected object to define a direction in which to shift a point or selection of points by a specified distance. If a frame is selected as the object, you will be prompted to choose along which axis to shift the points.
In the image above, the green points were copied from the original points (red) and shifted along the circle’s surface normal.
