# Locator

The Locator is a '3D Cursor' that points to a single position in the studio and is shown in the Orthographic View windows as two yellow lines.
The Locator can be moved the following ways:

1. Clicking the mouse button over either of the yellow lines and dragging it.
2. Clicking the mouse over the intersection of the yellow lines to drag both of them.
3. Opening the Locator window (short-cut Shift+L) and typing in the exact positions for the Locator.

The Locator is used for many purposes including:

1. All functions within the Transformation Window can be applied relative to the Locator.
2. When adding individual polygons (short-cut a) the vertexes assume the position of the Locator when an axis is not specified. For example, adding a polygon to the Orthogonal View X/Y window would allow use the X and Y positions where the cursor is but the Z position would be defined by the Locator.
3. Objects created using the Geometry Window are positioned relative to the Locator.
4. Special Points have their positioned defined at
