Add Object to Scene
In the Main Menu, select "Project -> Asset Menu" to open the Asset Panel or press "More" (+) in the toolbar at the left side.
With the Asset Panel opened, select an object in the panel first, then press "Add Asset" () or "World Center" () to add the selected object to scene. Alternatively, you can double-click the selected object to spawn it in the scene, double-clicking works in the same manner as pressing the "Add Asset" () button.
- "Add Asset / Double Click": The new object will spawn at the center of the screen in front of you
- "World Center": The new object will spawn at the world center (0, 0, 0) with a rotation of (0, 0, 0).
Additionally, there are two options available to further control the placement of the spawned objects:
-
"Lock Rotation": When enabled, the object will keep its original rotation values when spawned into the scene. Useful when you spawn objects with pre-defined rotation that needs to be enforced when added to the scene.
-
"Lock Position": When enabled, the object will keep its original position values when spawned into the scene. Useful when your objects have pre-defined relative positions that needs to be kept when added to the scene.
