This is a tough one. You might laugh about it but for me it was a major issue when I started with D3Edit. It took many attempts to figure out what was actually going on, and it almost drove me crazy.

Although I had read through several tutorials online many times I was not able to move marked vertices, faces, paths, or objects in the top, front, or side view as described there. I tried to find the necessary information in the forums and several other sources but to no avail.

Here's the problem I had:

Since I started building my first level on a laptop without an external keyboard the described way of moving vertices, faces, paths, and objects did not work. Nothing moved.

In D3Edit, you can only move marked faces, vertices, paths, and objects with the keyboard's num pad (numeric keypad), and only when the num lock function is turned on.
Since the laptop's keyboard didn't have a separate numeric pad this could only be emulated by pressing several keys on the standard alpha-numeric key pad together with some additional function keys.
I would have probably never figured this out if I hadn't, more or less out of curiousity, installed D3Edit on a different computer where it only was a matter of turning num lock on and everything worked.

Summarized, if you have a laptop and can't move anything marked in the 2D views go through the machine's manual and try to find out how to emulate this functionality first: Pressing numeric keys on a keyboard's num pad with num lock switched on.

Honestly, I do not believe someone can work with the editor like this for long. An external keyboard for laptops is one of the first things you should acquire when working with D3Edit.
