Quick Reference

To change the type of gizmo while moving, rotating, or scaling objects

1. Select the 3D objects that you want to move, rotate, or scale.
   • To modify the entire object, select the object.
   • To modify a subobject (face, edge, or vertex), press Ctrl+click the subobject. (You can limit the selection set by specifying a subobject selection filter on the shortcut menu.)
2. Hover the cursor over an axis handle on the gizmo until it turns yellow and the axis vector displays. Then click the axis handle.
3. Press the Spacebar to cycle through the gizmo types until the correct gizmo is displayed.

   When you change gizmos this way, the movement remains constrained to the selected axis.
