You need to start by choosing between Local and Global.

In Global mode, you move an element according to the world axes. In Local mode, you move it based on its own orientation, as shown in the diagram above.
Next, choose whether you want to perform a translation or rotation movement:
Click on any object in your scenario, and you will then be able to:
-
Move:
The red arrow allows translation along the X-axis, the blue arrow along the Y-axis, and the green arrow along the Z-axis. The cube also enables you to move the object within the same plane. The green face allows movement in the (X, Y) plane, the blue face in the (Y, Z) plane, and the red face along the (X, Z) plane.
-
Rotate:
In the same way as for Move, the red circle allows rotation around the X-axis, the blue circle around the Y-axis, and the green circle around the Z-axis.
Alternatively, you can click on an object, and the following window will appear in the top left corner when you click on:

This will allow you to modify the following parameters: Position X, Y, and Z, as well as Rotation X, Y, and Z.
