Resolved Lost transform tool handles in Lego microgame

Hi,

I'm sorry this is going to be so stupid of a question, but I am trying to teach myself Unity and I was going through the tutorials, doing the Lego microgame one. Everything was just fine until suddenly I stopped seeing the transform tools handles (the xyz arrows for the Move tool, the three planes of rotations circles for the Rotate tool) around certain objects. Instead all I see are the rotate/flip by 90° icons:


Confusingly, for some objects (mostly the rock forms it seems?) I *do* still have the transformation tool handles:


I have found other, similar comments (like here: https://forum.unity.com/threads/sol...tain-objects-need-advice.626023/#post-4194565) that seem to be related to the Probuilder tools, but I have not knowingly used them, I don't have the set of icons at the top center of my screen that people refer to in offering those solutions, and I can't figure out how to get to them.

I'm pretty sure I just inadvertently invoked a keyboard shortcut to turn something off, or on, or whatever, but I cannot figure out how to undo it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

That's odd. Let's see a screen shot of the top of your Scene view, so we can see what you've got there.

 

Thank you for responding!

Here's a full screen grab, project was just reopened and I did nothing but select the one brick to see whether it had magically fixed itself lol.

 

See Steps 4 and 7 of this tutorial:

OMG I feel like an idiot. Though I am confused as to how I got that far in the tutorial without realizing that turning on the Brick Building tool also turned off the interaction handles and replaced them with the "90° only" version of tools :S

Anyway, thank you for pointing that out to me, problem solved, moving on

Best wishes,
David

 

You're not an idiot man, that's how you learn stuff, by making mistakes and learning how not to make same error again.
