Quick Reference

Gizmos help you move, rotate, or scale a set of objects along a 3D axis or plane.

There are three types of gizmos:

• 3D Move gizmo. Relocates selected objects along an axis or plane.
• 3D Rotate gizmo. Rotates selected objects about a specified axis.
• 3D Scale gizmo. Scales selected objects along a specified plane or axis, or uniformly along all 3 axes.

By default, gizmos are displayed automatically when you select an object or subobject in a view that has a 3D visual style. Because they constrain modifications along specific planes or axes, gizmos help ensure more predictable results.

You can specify which gizmos are displayed when an object is selected, or you can suppress their display.
