# Move
### **Move** is the default tool when Transform is selected. It is used for more precise placement of objects in the worldspace.
**Move** consists of three arrows which indicate the **xyz** coordinate graph for 3D objects in the world, and a **baseline sphere** located at the object's set pivot point —also known as the exact centre of the object.
## How to use
To move an object in a certain direction, drag any axis arrow and adjust until perfect by switching between Global and Local modes if you’d like.
* **Global** axis arrows move the object according to the **whole level’s axis.**
* **Local** arrows move according to the rotation and placement of the **object itself**.
* Shortcut to Global by pressing 4, and Local with 5.
To activate **free movement** click and pull on the **baseline sphere** — the white circle in the middle of all the arrows.
{% hint style="info" %}
***Tip:*** here, the platform is slightly rotated, so you can tell the Local axis is the one that has arrows parallel to its edges! We recommend learning with square/straight-edged objects like walls, floors and cubes while getting used to the difference between Global and Local!

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.mutate.games/tools/transform-manipulator/move.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
