Using the transform buttons


The three transform buttons located on the main toolbar are Select and Move, Select and Rotate, and Select and Uniform Scale, as shown in Table 8.1. Using these buttons, you can select objects and transform them by dragging in one of the viewports with the mouse. You can access these buttons using three of the big four keyboard shortcuts-Q for Select Objects, W for Select and Move, E for Select and Rotate, and R for Select and Scale.
