Not the issue here, but if anyone happens to have a similar issue, try checking if you’re using ProBuilder, be sure to be in object mode, otherwise you won’t be able to use transform tools.

You are in 2D scene view (little highlighted ‘2D’ icon), so the axis are not displayed. Just click on the ‘2D’ button to go back to 3D view.

You can find that by clicking the three dots at top right corner of scene tab and

  1. Click “Overlay menu”..
  2. Then, unhide “Orientation”

Try clicking on the icons in the top left. Read the Unity manual page for Transforms to learn more about manipulating objects.

I’ve just had this issue - an option to look for if you’re a noob like me is check the selection type at the top of the scene view. There are 4 icons that select object, vertex, edge or face. Choose the object selection mode and that did the trick!

I had this issue, and it was due to prefabs somehow working with LOD levels in play mode. Exiting playmode brought the arrows back
