2 Modifying Objects 1-2 Use Mouse Mode Buttons

3 Modify Objects 1-3 Move Freely Move Up and Down Turn Left and Right Tumble Copy Resize Turn Forward and Backward When checked can modify subparts

4 Center of an object Provides pivot or spin reference o Object spins around center At the center of mass Where it stands on the ground Where it is held
