Transform space (world / local)

Switch the gizmo between world and object axes.

World transforms run along plain X/Y/Z. Local orients the gizmo to the object’s own frame (or the active construction work plane), so a rotated shape moves and scales along its own axes.

  1. Open Gizmo options.
  2. Toggle World or Local (shortcut X).
  3. Local aligns the gizmo to the object — or the active work plane.
