I'm trying to follow along with a YouTube video that deals with axis in Blender.

The author in the video uses Blender 2.6, while I'm using Blender 2.8.

In Blender 2.8, I would like to show the object's axis. I have drawn a green arrow towards it:

enter image description here

However, I don't see such an object on the axis.

How could I show it?

You can do one of two things:

  1. You can select the 'Move' tool in the toolbar (T) or press Shift+Space> G:

  1. If you would like the gizmo to appear regardless of the tool you have selected, click the 'Viewport Gizmos' button in the 3D View header, enable gizmos for active object by enabling the 'Active Object' option and then enable the 'Move', 'Rotate' or 'Scale' options:

enter image description here

Note: Both these options require the object to be selected for the gizmo to appear. If no gizmos are appearing, make sure gizmos are enabled by clicking the 'Show Gizmos' button:

There is also an 'Axis' option in the Object Properties tab > Viewport Display panel.

For those who came here to learn how to show the XYZ axis & floor for the entire viewport do this:

select floor and xyz

  • Select the two overlapping spheres icon (the overlay menu).
  • Check the 'Floor' checkbox and click on the 'X', 'Y' and 'Z' toggles.
