Change the Movement Mode
There are options to allow translation of cubes only along designated axial directions. Single Axis, Multi Axis, or Longest Axis mode may be selected from the Select Movement Mode drop-down menu. The directions along which translation is allowed are outlined in blue; for example,
indicates that translation in the x- and y-directions is allowed, but translation in the z-direction is locked. Note that Movement Modes only un/lock changes in position and NOT size, so the centroid of a cube may still be moved along a locked direction if the size/extent of the cube along the locked direction is changed.

) to un/lock movement along any combination of axial directions, though movement along at least one direction must be allowed.
Longest Axis
To enter the Longest Axis Movement Mode, select Longest Axis from the Select Movement Mode drop-down menu. Cubes may be translated in any axial direction in Longest Axis mode but only along one axial direction at a time: as the central red sphere of a cube is dragged, the cube is translated in the axial direction closest to the direction that the mouse is dragged.
Revert a cube
Click on the Revert Cube icon
in a cube's row of the Cube Table to return the cube to its initial, automatically generated size and position.
Revert a cube via the Recipe Console
The Revert Cube option is also available in the Regions of Interest table in the Recipe Console tab of the Analysis Panel. To show the Regions of Interest table, click on the Recipe Console tab in the Analysis Panel, then the Expand icon
next to Input and Output in any recipe, and then the Expand icon
next to Regions of Interest.
Remove a cube
Click the Remove Cube icon
in a cube's row of the Cube Table to remove the cube.
Remove a cube via the Recipe Console

next to Regions of Interest.
Un/Hide a cube
Click the Un/Hide Cube icon
in a cube's row of the Cube Table to hide or show that cube.
Un/Hide cubes via the Recipe Console
Cubes may also be shown and hidden (as a group, not individually) from the Regions of Interest table in the Recipe Console tab of the Analysis Panel. To un/hide cubes by way of the Recipe Console, click on the Recipe Console tab in the Analysis Panel, then on the Expand icon
next to Input and Output in any recipe, and then on the Show ROIs icon (

Crop out a cube
Select a cube, and then click the Crop Cube button at the bottom of the interface to generate a new image that contains only the image data lying within the selected cube. This cropped image is displayed in the Image Viewer and has a thumbnail that appears in the Image Explorer once it has been generated, but the cropped image is NOT automatically saved.
