The Transform Tools serve as your primary means of manipulating objects within the viewport. There are 3 tools available:

  • Move Tool

  • Rotate Tool

  • Scale Tool

Each one of these tools also has settings to handle snapping. For more information on using the Transform Tools and the various snapping methods available, please see the Actor Placement page.
