Can you move objects in the 3d view without using the gizmos?

Frankie

I was wondering if there's a way to move objects in the 3D view without having to click on the gizmos. Feels like I could be missing something obvious.

Thanks

Not that I know of, but you could probably code it up as an editor script?

Frankie

Ok, on my list of things to try while learning to script.

You could type in coords in the object's properties, but I'm assuming thats not what you meant :P

You can click on drag on the x y and z coords in the inspector to scrub those values.

Another way to move an object without having to grab the gizmo at the x,y or z is hold shift and you can get a screen based movement. You still have to grab the object by the center of the gizmo though. Also try ctl and shift, gives you a snap to colliders in scene again allowing you a little more than the gizmo by itself.

oh shift move mode is pretty good, thanks a lot mookster. Funny, even knowing it's there now I can't find any reference to it online.

Yeah you guessed right, using the inspector wasn't what I was after Thanks for the suggestions though gsokol and passerby.
