Transform Tool


Modify > Transform > Transform - A gizmo modeling tool that provides moving, rotating and scaling of your Point, Edge or Polygon selections or complete objects as needed using the new mesh system. Clicking the right mouse will reposition the gizmo to a new point, edge or polygon normal to enable better control. The gizmo itself is a LightWave object that can be edited to suit your needs and can be found in LightWave/support/gizmos.

The handles are colored to match their axes. The curves at the end of each arrow are for rotating, the arrows are for translation and the colored boxes are for scaling on a specific axis. The yellow circles are for translating on two axes and the white box at the center of the default gizmo is to scale on all axes.

Using Ctrl will adjust the position and rotation of the Transform gizmo so that you can rotate about a point not located on the object, for instance.
