# Transforming an object

Transform is the general term for the group of actions that include translate (move), rotate, and scale. To transform an object, first complete the following steps to open the control menu for the object:

* Access the control menu for the object, and then select **GIZMO** from the control menu. For more information, see [Accessing the control menu](/engage/advanced-features/modifying-objects/accessing-the-control-menu.md).

When the gizmo is visible, select the transform type icon to cycle through translate, rotate, and scale modes. Drag part of the gizmo to transform the object. For more information, see [The gizmo](/engage/advanced-features/the-gizmo.md).
