The Bottom bar
The Bottom bar shows your current focus and holds some commonly used actions.
You can learn more about focus and how to navigate the Modeler scene hierarchy here.
Scene
The left side of the bottom bar shows your current focus in the Scene.
In the image above, the current focus is group 3. In this case, Group 3 is a child of Group 2, which is a child of the World group. It's possible to scope out from this point by clicking Group 2, or World to make them your focus.
Select a Placement mode
The Placement section has options to change your Placement mode. Placement mode determines how the tool applies its effects within the scene.
The following Placement modes are available in Modeler:
- Free placement (VR only)
- Gizmo placement
- Surface placement
Orientation
Set the orientation of the gizmo. These controls are only visible while Gizmo placement mode is selected.
From left to right:

More information about Gizmo orientation options is available under Placement modes.
