# The gizmo The gizmo is a familiar concept to anyone that has experience with 3D modelling software. You can use it to adjust the position, rotation, and scale of objects. * To activate the gizmo, open the control menu for an object, and then select **Gizmo**. For more information, see [accessing-the-control-menu](https://docs.engagevr.io/engage/advanced-features/modifying-objects/accessing-the-control-menu "mention"). ![Gizmo option in control menu](https://3460182399-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FwVx6bvwqEE7tD0TYOcfj%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-05c082defeb0fa4901420338f3f74e7012dd1f87%2Fcontrol_menu_gizmo.jpg?alt=media) ## Gizmo menu ![Gizmo menu](https://3460182399-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FwVx6bvwqEE7tD0TYOcfj%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-ef70e3168280aaa43e67521742658f7a5b102cf6%2Fgizmo_menu_wt_reset.jpg?alt=media) The gizmo menu options are described in the following table: | Icon | Name | Description | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | ![](https://3460182399-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FwVx6bvwqEE7tD0TYOcfj%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-427038e9bb2d4135b0bfc3755f55ab6fe8ab2aa8%2Fgizmo_reset.png?alt=media) | RESET | Reset rotation or scale to initial values.

Toggle use of incremental steps in real-world units. When active, you can change the multiplier to operate in metres, degrees, and square metres.

Note: The accuracy of distances depends on how the Location was created.

Change the step increment to use with transform tools.

When snap is inactive, the step increment ranges from 1/10th of a unit to 10 units.

When snap is active, the step increments for translation and scale range from 1/10th of a unit to 10 units. For rotation, the step increments are 1°, 5°, 15°, 45°, and 90°.
