Selecting and moving objects

I know this is a really stupid/basic question but is it possible to move geometry around in the standalone? I just started working with Octane a couple days ago and can't figure that out. If i want to actually move geometry around do I need to work with the plugin version and not the standalone? Thanks!

Run the geometry through a "placement" node like so:

Use the placements Rotation, location and scale values to move the mesh around.

Thanks for the quick response. Looks like there's not interactive moving though--just movement through number inputs? If that's the case, I'll stick with the plugin version I guess.

No, there are no widget or anything like that to move/rotate/scale the objects around in the viewport.
Geometry placement is still best done in the your 3d app (usually).
