Gizmo Question

Hey there, 

 

How do I get the Gizmo displayed like this with the circle in the center?

And also what does it mean when it displayed like this?

 

Thank you in advance.

Press S to set Snap to ON.  When you do that, that circle/sphere will be displayed in the centre (before that it would have looked like a square/box).  Press S again to set Snap to OFF (so, pressing S will *toggle* the Snapping facility).

 

When Snap is on, you can Snap Objects to specifics parts of another Object, ie. from/to the object's Vertices, Edge, Face, Midpoint, Pivot Point or to the Grid.

 

So, it's very useful when moving objects around.

 

Try it with a few Primitives to learn more 🙂
