Note:
You can adjust snapping to increase your precision.
• Once the rotation tool is positioned correctly, place the mouse over one of the curves in the
middle, and drag it on the screen to rotate the object. The curves are color-coded, and match the
color of the axis used to rotate the object around. So, for example, dragging the blue curve
between the X and Y axes, rotates the object around the blue Z axis.
• To rotate the orientation of the rotation tool to an arbitrary position, hold down the CTRL key while
dragging one of the three curves in the middle.
• To snap the tool to other objects, hold the CTRL key while dragging the yellow square in the
middle of the tool.

3. Use the scale tool to resize the selected object:
• To resize the selected object, place the mouse over one of seven squares. When the cursor
changes to , drag the square on the screen to modify the size of the object. Typically,
dragging a square up or right increases the size, dragging it down or left decreases the size.
• To resize the object across a single axis only, use colored squares at the end of the axes. To
