Rearranging 3D models


After placing a 3D model, we have full control over the position, rotation, scale, and even some additional properties, according to the 3D model used.

From now on, when it is mentioned that we need to select the 3D model to perform a specific task, it means that we need to click on this small dot to tweak and change the 3D model. If you have a closer look, it is possible to see each dot as an icon that represents the type of 3D model. So, if we select the Move object tool and cannot find this small dot, it means we don't have the correct category selected.
