Manipulator handle
Tip: The transform manipulator has three handles that let you constrain your motion
along the X, Y, and Z-axes. These are labeled using red for the X-axis, green for the
Y-axis, and blue for the Z-axis. The Y-axis points up by default, which means that
Maya is “Y-up.”
Click+drag• on the center manipulator handle to scale the oor along all axes to about
30 units.
Note: You will notice that as you are dragging the manipulators, the corresponding
values are getting updated in the Channel Box.
Click+drag• on the green manipulator handle to scale down the oor along the Y-axis
until the oor is just a little thicker than the ground plane.
You will notice that the manipulator handle turns yellow to indicate that it is active.
