Orientation
The Orientation action sets the orientation of scene handles when you select objects and elements. Click the Orientation button to switch between the three states: Global, Local, or Normal.
Depending whether you are in text mode or icon mode, the button displays the following to indicate what state the action is in:
Icon mode: | Text mode: | Description: |
---|---|---|
Orientation: Global | Similar to a compass, the handle orientation is always the same, regardless of local rotation. | |
Orientation: Local | Similar to left vs right, handle orientation is relative to the object's rotation. | |
Orientation: Normal | Special mode that aligns the handles to the exact normal direction of the selected face. |
This action is available in all edit modes.
Tip: You can also use this action with the P shortcut, or from the ProBuilder menu (Tools > ProBuilder > Interaction > Toggle Handle Orientation).
