Hi guys, I’m loving the new zbrush 2019. And as much as I love the gizmo3d tool I find it very awkward to use when trying to pose something especially when I want my pivet point to be at a certain area. I don’t know if I have any control of that with gizmo3d like I did with transpose line. Is it possible to get the old transpose line tool back? Or is there a way to move the gizmo to an area I want to pivot?
Hi Markus! I’ve got a double dose of good news–you can do both.
-
The program returns to transpose lines if Gizmo mode is disabled. Just toggle the gizmo icon located on your interface, or in the Transform menu by default.

You can move the Gizmo quickly to a pivot by “unlocking” the manipulator (lock icon above the Gizmo manipulator), and clicking where you’d like on a mesh, just like with Transpose. While unlocked, the manipulator can also be manually repositioned, or centered on the unmasked mesh via an adjacent icon.

Just to add keyboard shortcuts:
w for the gizmo then:
y toggles gizmo with original transpose tool
Also useful:
press alt and rotation icon on gizmo set rotations to zero
press alt and home icon on gizmo to recenter axis to origin
Cheers!
