#  Orientation
|
|
|
|
The __Orientation__ action sets the orientation of scene handles when you select [objects and elements](modes.md). Click the __Orientation__ button to switch between the three states: __Global__, __Local__, or __Normal__.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Depending whether you are in [text mode or icon mode](toolbar.md#buttonmode), the button displays the following to indicate what state the action is in:
|
|
|
|
| **Icon mode:** | **Text mode:** | **Description:** |
|
|
| :----------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
|  | **Orientation: Global** | Similar to a compass, the handle orientation is always the same, regardless of local rotation. |
|
|
|  | **Orientation: Local** | Similar to left vs right, handle orientation is relative to the object's rotation. |
|
|
|  | **Orientation: Normal** | Special mode that aligns the handles to the exact normal direction of the selected face. |
|
|
|
|
This action is available in all [edit modes](modes.md).
|
|
|
|
> **Tip:** You can also use this action with the **P** shortcut, or from the ProBuilder menu (**Tools** > **ProBuilder** > **Interaction** > **Toggle Handle Orientation**).
