Transformation gizmos

Scene Editor toolbar. Space to switch between gizmos. There are three types of transformation gizmo:

• The translation gizmo moves entities
• The rotation gizmo rotates entities
• The scale gizmo resizes entitiesGame Studio displays the selected transformation gizmo at the origin of the entity.

  Translation gizmo

  Scale gizmo

  icon in the Scene Editor toolbar or press R. The scale gizmo resizes entities along a single axis (“stretching” or “squashing” them) or all axes (making them larger or smaller without changing their proportions).
• red ring.

  Note

  local coordinate system (see below). When you select the scale gizmo, Game Studio switches to local coordinates.

  Change gizmo coordinate system

  You can change how the gizmo coordinates work.

• Snap transformations to grid

  You can “snap” transformations to the grid. This means that the degree of transformation you apply to entities is rounded to the closest multiple of the number you specify. For example, if you set the rotation snap value to 10, entities rotate in multiples of 10 (0, 10, 20, 30, etc). You can change the snap values for each gizmo in the scene view toolbar. Snap values apply to all entities in the scene. For example:
