Transformations
 
The translation in Z direction element is a numeric value defining the distance of an active object from the coordinate system origin in the Z axis direction (forward - backward direction). A positive value causes the object to shift forward (from the viewer), a negative value causes the object to shift backward (to the viewer) from the coordinate origin. The object's translation is carried out after the scale and rotation transformations.
