Gizmos

Gizmos, everbody loves gizmos right? Except for Blender users, they don't really care for gizmos...

What's a gizmo? You don't know? A gizmo is the icon that you use to move/rotate/scale objects, they show up whenever you select an object while you have a transform tool activated. Did you know you could turn them on and off? What about making them bigger and smaller?

Gizmo enabled

How to enable/disable the gizmo:
Press "X" and you can toggle the gizmo on and off.

Gizmo disabled

How to increase/decrease the size of the gizmo:
Press the "+" and "-" keys to increase and descrease the size of the gizmo. Note that you can not use the +/- keys on the numberpad.

You can also control the size of the gizmos through the preferences by going to Customize -> Preferences... -> Gizmo tab. The Relative Size field controls the size.

  1. How do you change the size of the circle gizmo that I created so I can hide my bones? I created a circle gizmo to control an arm bone but the circle is huge, I just want it to be around the bone itself.
