Toggle Manipulator Alignment (Local/Global)

Change the alignment of the manipulator to be relative to either the decoration or the map.

— In-game description

Toggle Manipulator Alignment (Local/Global) is a skill used for decorating Guild Halls and Homesteads allowing players to toggle between two reference axis systems: global and local.

Mechanics[edit]

  • This skill lets the player alternate between two reference axis systems:
    • Manipulator Global.png Global mode (default) — where the axes are aligned to the instance in cardinal direction (north, south, east, and west).
    • Manipulator Local.png Local mode — where the axes are aligned to the object's position.
  • This skill effects two other skills: Move and Rotate.
  • The global axis system will never rotate, while the local axis system will rotate with the object.
  • Using  Reset Scale and Rotation (place).png Reset Scale and Rotation will reset decoration alignment to global axes.
  • Move action in global mode, Where the green arrow pointing north and red arrow pointing east.

    Move action in global mode, Where the green arrow pointing north and red arrow pointing east.

  • Move action in local mode, where the blue arrow pointing the top of decoration.

    Move action in local mode, where the blue arrow pointing the top of decoration.

Notes[edit]

  • Most of pre-made homestead building are in X, Y axis of global axes, while The Workshop are rotate in 45° of global axes and Lumber Mill are off global axes (not 45° or 90° which can be lock rotation increments via holding SHIFT while rotate.)
  • When in global mode, a blue icon appears above the skill bar saying: "The manipulator axes are aligned to global space."
  • When in local mode, a yellow icon appears above the skill bar saying: "The manipulator axes are aligned to local space."
