Launch the Settings Window from the toolbar.



Axis orientation: Specifies the coordinate system for the transformation tools.

  • World: Transforms selected objects about world space X, Y, and Z axes. In this mode, manipulator handles never change.
  • Local: Transforms selected objects in the object-space coordinate system. In this mode, manipulators are rotated with the object.


Pivot point: Determines the position around which objects are rotated or scaled. If you want to rotate an object around a specific location, you need to adjust the object's pivot position. 

  • Reset: Moves the selected object's pivot point to the origin.
  • Edit: Activates manual pivot editing mode.
  • Center: Moves the selected object's pivot point to the center of the object's bounding box.


Translation step: Defines the increments of translation movements. It is expressed in meters. Check the box to activate incremental translation and edit the step size.


Rotation step: Defines the increments of rotation movements. It is expressed in degrees. Check the box to activate incremental rotation and edit the step size. 


Scaling step: Defines the increments of scaling operations. It is expressed in magnitudes. Check the box to activate incremental scaling and edit the step size.
