Basics of the Space Editor

The Space Editor is an optimized editor for the management of 3D Spaces. In this article you will learn the basics of using the new Space Editor.

Controls & Editing Objects

In the Space Editor, you can move through the space just like in the Space Viewer in first-person view. Use your mouse and the arrow keys on your keyboard (instructions here).

Individual objects can be selected with a double click and edited.

You can also open the object list and click on the desired object to activate editing.

Once you have selected an object, you can use the quick menu (1) at the bottom or the object menu (2) in the right sidebar for editing.

Basic functions like delete, duplicate, lock, show/hide are available via the object list or the quick menu.

In the object menu on the right side, you will find all options for editing the selected object:

• Move
• Rotate
• Resize
• Add images and videos to displays (monitors, screens, etc.)
• Adjust material and color
• Add links and tooltips
• Add interaction options

Use the close button in the quick menu to end the editing of the object. This will deselect the object and close the right sidebar and quick menu.

Open the 3D object library

Via the [+] in the bottom right corner you can access our 3D object library. Depending on the package you have booked, you can choose objects like furniture or decoration from different categories and place them in your room.

If you already created your own 3D model, you can also find it via the 3D Object Library in the 3D Uploads category. Under 2D Uploads you can find your uploaded 2D objects (such as 2D avatars or product photos).
