I try create simple scene with very simple setup for TransformControls but it not working as it should be.

this my code:

```javascript
 this.m_TransformControls = new TransformControls(this.m_Camera,this.m_Canvas);
        EventManager.Instance.Subscribe(EventType.SELECTED,(obj: Object3D) =>
        {
            this.m_TransformControls.attach(obj);
            this.m_SceneManagementEditor.Scene.add(this.m_TransformControls);
        });

```

thank you in advance 😄
