Selection > Manipulator Tools
 

Description:

    Manipulator Tools allow you to edit the current selection in various ways.

Move
    Move allows you to move the selection in the workspace. Drag one of the arrow handles to move the selection in that direction. Use Tweak Select (Ctrl + left or middle mouse button in the default setup) to move the selection in the plane of the screen.

Scale
    Scale allows you to change the size of the selection. Drag one of the handles to scale the selection in that direction only. Drag the center square of the manipulator to scale the object in all directions. Use Tweak Select to scale the selection in the plane of the screen.

Rotate
    Rotate allows you to change the orientation of the selection. Drag one of the handles to rotate in the indicated direction. Use Tweak Select to rotate in the plane of the screen.

Universal
    The Universal manipulator allows you to change the orientation, position, and size of the selection. The shape of the handle indicates which manipulator function that handle performs.  Using Tweak Select will allow you to drag the selection in the plane of the screen.

No Manipulator
    Use this command to hide the manipulator.  Using Tweak Select will still allow you to drag the selection in the plane of the screen.


Notes:

-If enabled, the alternate manipulator will perform the same function as the main manipulator.
