Gizmos are arrows that appear when you left click on an item in your Condo while the Condo inventory is open. They allow you to easily move, rotate, and scale any item in your Condo.

Move

  • Hotkey: Q

Moves the selected item. This is useful for moving items to a specific coordinate, moving them upwards, or moving them long distances.

Move Demonstration

Rotate

  • Hotkey: E

Rotates the selected item. Useful for rotating items in more precise angles, and rotating them in the Y and Z axes.

Rotate Demonstration

Scale

  • Hotkey: R

Stretches items in any axis. If you click the lock icon in the gizmo menu (top right of screen), you can scale the item up uniformly in all axes.

Scale Demonstration

Snapping

  • Hotkey: F

Snapping causes movement, rotation, and scale to be applied in increments, which can be edited in the top-right menu.

Multi-Select and Grouping

  • Select: Shift + Click
  • Group: G
  • Ungroup: U

Multiple items can be selected and manipulated at once by shift-clicking them. Multi-selected items have a purple outline rather than the standard blue outline.

Selections of items can also be grouped together by pressing G. This will keep the items together even after closing the Gizmo menu and closing the Condo. Groups can be dragged around like individual items and duplicated with the Copycat tool.

Extra Features

Duplicate Items

Alt-clicking and dragging an arrow while in Move mode will copy the currently selected item(s).

Edit

In the top-right menu, there is a small palette icon. This opens the selected item's edit menu.

Undo/Redo

There are undo and redo buttons in the top-right menu. These can also be done at any time with F1 and F2, respectively.

Global/Relative

The arrows' positions can be changed to global (arrows stay in the same orientation for all items) or relative (arrows rotate with the item). This only affects Move and Rotate.

Add/Subtract/Etc. From Numbers

You can use the menu that appears on the top right to input specific numbers. You can also input -, +, *, and / into the top right menu:

  • Adding +(number) to the end of a number will add the inputted amount of units to the original number.
  • Adding -(number) to the end of a number will subtract the inputted amount of units from the original number.
  • Adding *(number) to the end of a number will multiply the original number by the inputted number.
  • Adding /(number) to the end of a number will divide the original number by the inputted number.
