You can use the 3D Editor toolbar to transform (move, rotate, and scale) selected objects within the current scene. Animation can be edited using the Edit keyframe animation tool along with the other 3D Editor tools. You can also use the toolbar in conjunction with the Tool Assistant to transform objects and object pivot points along their individual axes, cross section, mirror objects, and perform volume selection.
