Cannot Move Decal

Question

Hello Community, I am having an issue with Decals. Specifically, I am trying to add a screen image to the default Tablet model. But after adding the decal to the screen, I can scale it, but I cannot reposition it. Any idea what I am missing here?

Thanks Ares! I'll start there. Let me know if you figure out why the screen layer prevents mobing the decal.

Here is the reason and workaround. Glass Object is located in front of Screen and blocked access to screen pixels for selecting decal, but we are able to use rotate and scale handles.

Workaround

1. Hide Glass object before moving image

Also if we have only Glass and Screen objects we can add distances between them. Then after changing angel for camera (see middle tablet object) we can access to image and move it.

did you generate a Uv for the entire model or just the part you need to add decals to... 'screen'?

also Adobe does not allow Dn files to be uploaded because they don't trust them... yes we know how dum that is but the bubble in charge of forums and libraries doesn't talk to the bubble in charge of Dimension

if you right click the Dn file and zip it then Adobe cloud will allow it for shares or you can use one of the 3rd party options around like drop box... the file would be very helpful and save a lot of time guessing
