I can’t figure out how to made my interaction display a box to more easily manipulate my models. I updated to 5.10. While I am able to move my models with the object on the screen, it only allows for local manipulation and it is very difficult to line up my models. Any advice on how to change my interaction display the more easily manipulated box would be appreciated.

Use the data module, and right-clcik on the visibility (eye) icon and enable interaction:

Hi, I should say that your problems are about orientation. I solved them by using the vestibular orientation.

Here is a link to a tutorial to learn how to perform a VO.

If you want to go further and have your planes set as to have them displayed oriented in the 3D view

you can perform a transform of the view and align the planes in the corresponding orientation.
