when the parent object is selected

When the child object is selected

Game Object/World Space

Grids are only available for the It has no effect on pure models and imported resources.

When mesh is enabled, moving an object will cause the mesh to appear at the current level and the object will automatically attach to the center of the green mesh.

Rotation: The angle of change per rotation.

Scale: The magnification of the zoom change per adjustment.

Property Adjustment
