# Proxies
Tools related to proxy manipulation
## Tool panel

### Operators
* Align To Object
* Align To Proxy
* Realign Coordinate System
* Extract Proxy
* Copy Proxy
* Copy Proxies
* Transfer Proxies
***
## Process
### Align To Object
{% hint style="info" %}
The operator is only available when a proxy object and a target object are selected. The target object must be the active object.
{% endhint %}
The worlds transformation matrix of the proxy object is made equal to the matrix of the target object.

To
### Align To Proxy
{% hint style="info" %}
The operator is only available when a target proxy object and another object are selected. The target proxy object must be the active object.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="warning" %}
The operator may produce unwanted results when object parenting is involved.
{% endhint %}
The worlds transformation matrix of the object is made equal to the matrix of the target proxy object.

To
### Realign Coordinate System
{% hint style="info" %}
The operator is only available when a proxy object is selected (and nothing else).
{% endhint %}
During the editing, the object coordinate system of a proxy object may be altered intentionally, or by accident. This tool provides an easy way to re-align the coordinate system with the coordinate system defined by the proxy triangle.
From
To
### Extract Proxy
{% hint style="info" %}
The operator is only available when a proxy object is selected (and nothing else), and the set proxy file path exists in the current file system.
{% endhint %}
In Object Builder:
The 1st LOD of the referenced proxy model is imported in place of the selected proxy.
### Copy Proxy
{% hint style="info" %}
The operator is only available when only a single proxy object is selected.
{% endhint %}
The operator can be used to copy a proxy to one or multiple other LODs defined in the file.
### Copy Proxies
{% hint style="info" %}
The operator is only available when two LOD objects are selected.
{% endhint %}
Use the operator to copy all proxies from one LOD to another.
### Transfer Proxies
{% hint style="info" %}
The operator is only available when two LOD objects are selected.
{% endhint %}
Use the operator to move all proxies from one LOD to another.
