For example, if you select a [Transform tool](/engine/6000.5/manual/working-with-scenes/scenes-manage-gameobjects/positioning-game-objects.md), use the Tool Settings overlay to select the [location of any Transform tool Gizmo and the handles used to manipulate the Gizmo](/engine/6000.5/manual/working-with-scenes/scenes-manage-gameobjects/positioning-game-objects.md#GizmoHandlePositions). |
