Abstract

Embodiments are directed to a method for receiving a user selection of a first object of a simulated model and selecting a second object of the simulated model based on the received selection of the first object. The method includes generating an offset object similar to the first object, wherein the position of the offset object is based on the position of the first object and second object. The method includes generating a manipulation tool configured to allow a user to change the position of the offset object relative to the first object and second object. The method further includes generating a manipulation tool. The manipulation tool allows a user to change the position of the offset object relative to the first and second objects. The manipulation tool includes a first marker and a second marker associated with the first and second objects, one or more third markers that may or may not be associated with the offset object.
