How to use the position gizmo in Flock XR

The gizmos are tools that you can use to add, colour, position, rotate, scale, select, duplicate, and delete objects.

The position gizmo allows you to move your object along the X, Y, or Z axis in your world.

Quick steps

3D worlds use three axes.

X moves an object from side to side.
Y moves an object up and down.
Z moves an object forward and back.

A good way to remember this:

X is across.
Y is up and down like a yo-yo.
Z is zooming forward or back.

In Flock XR, objects can move in three directions:

Move slowly at first. Small movements are easier to control.

Change the camera view if you cannot tell where the object is.

Use undo if something goes wrong.

Try saying the axis name out loud as you move the object: “X is side to side”, “Y is up and down”, “Z is forward and back”.

I cannot see the object clearly

Use the fly gizmo plus arrow keys, page up, and page down to fly through your world and adjust your view.

I moved the object too far

Use undo, then move the object again slowly.

I cannot select the right object

Use the fly gizmo plus arrow keys, page up, and page down to fly through your world and adjust your view.

Try these tasks:

Move an object sideways using the X axis.

Move an object upward using the Y axis.

Move an object forward or back using the Z axis.

Place two objects next to each other.

Move one object above another object.

The position gizmo is a tool for moving objects in your 3D scene. It lets you move an object along the X, Y and Z axes.

Choose the position gizmo, select the object, then drag the arrows to move the object through the 3D world.

X means side to side. Y means up and down. Z means forward and back.
