Hi,

AFAIK, when selecting multiple objects or multiple faces / edges / vertices. . . the gizmo is never placed in the center, but in the barycenter!

Sorry, but I don’t really understand your gizmo problem …! :thinking:

… in any case, in any case for me, the gizmo is well placed in the barycenter of the selected objects

did a new test with new files and looks ok now

I think in one file there was a different set up for the gizmo mode or the cursor and was not same then in 2.79

will try to find what cause this this night

thanks for feedback

ok here is the strange thing ?

with this file
i’m working in the scripting template
and the 3D view does not show the gizmo !

is there something special about this template to not show the gizmo ?
there might be another parameter some where!

The layout has gizmo on but not showing in 3D view

thanks

Each workspace is independent (Layout, Modeling, Scripting …)

If the gizmo is not displayed in the 3D view present in the Scripting workspace, it must be activated in the Gizmo drop-down menu.

The gizmo is placed at the transform pivot point. Which by default is the median point. But change the pivot point to e.g. ‘3D Cursor’, and the gizmo will be placed at 3D cursor.

Houla, to answer you, it is better to have a very good view … :nerd_face:

… and if I see correctly, you have not activated the [Show Gizmo] button.
The drop-down list is only used to select certain options when Show Gizmo is activated.

I had the list but forgot you need to click on the icon to activate it !

got it now it works

but this is the default I had when I unzip it
I did not install 2.82 yet and still using the old 2.79 set up in 2.82

thanks
