Abstract
Aspects of the technology described herein provide a control interface for manipulating a 3-D graphical object within a virtual drawing space. The control can be activated by selecting a graphical object or objects. When multiple objects are selected, the manipulations can occur as a group. In one aspect, the manipulations occur around the centroid of the 3-D graphical object, or groups of objects. The manipulations can include rotation, size adjustment, and positional adjustment within the virtual drawing space. The control interface comprises controls that rotate the object around an x-axis, an y-axis, or an z-axis.
