Can't align object using transform axis gizmo

Hi guys,

I have been experiencing an issue in unreal engine 4.4.3. Whenever I right click on any corner of geometry box, the transform axis gizmo (X,Y,Z arrows) does not appear. It only appears in the middle of the objects but does not appear on any corners of the objects which help to align the objects.

However this happens only when I work on my current project. It works perfectly on new projects or any other projects. Please help me! thanks!


Hi MartiansArts,

From the look of your viewport it looks like you are in ‘Place’ mode, make sure that you are in ‘Geometry Edit’ mode.

Let me know if that fixes it or not.

First of all thanks for your reply. Transform axis work well on place mode with other projects or new projects. Therefore I don’t think its because of the mode. what I assume is that I might have changed some settings but I don’t know where and what.

help me guys

Could you also post your dxdiag (system specs)? I’m sure it is most likely a checkbox of some kind but as of yet I haven’t been able to find a toggle.

Hi MartiansArts,

We haven’t heard back from you in a few days, so we are marking this post as resolved for tracking purposes. If you’re still experiencing this issue, please feel free to post back here with your dxdiag information.

Cheers,

Im new to UE4 and Id like to know how you make that thingy in the corner so it makes object moving easier but I cant find anywhere that explains how to enable that, is it a setting?

Hi Nykolas,

That is called the Move Tool and it’s part of the Transform Controls. Here is some basics on using the viewport and here is some info on manipulating objects.

Please make sure to look through our documentation for tons more info to help you get started.
