Inspector

Press "Inspector Tool" () (I) in the top menu or press "Inspector" under the "View" tab in the drop-down menu to toggle the inspector panel. The panel displays the detail of the selected object and allows you to modify various object properties. Some special objects have more unique settings that can only be accessed through the panel.

Common Configuration

Some configuration settings are common among all objects.

• Basic Information: The panel allows the user to change the object's name and modify the object transform values directly. Press "Rename" () and type to rename the object.

tip

to precisely modify object transform, select the corresponding text box and enter the new value in the box.

• Hide In Play: You can toggle the "Hide in Play" option to disable the object in Play Mode. If "Hide in Play" is enabled, the object cannot be interacted with by the user directly in Play Mode.

• Hide in Editor: You can toggle the "Hide in Editor" option to disable the object in Edit Mode. If "Hide in Editor" is enabled, the object cannot be edited by the user in Edit Mode while it still enabled in Play Mode. It is equivalent to "Hide" button in Item Menu.

• Interactable: You can toggle the "Interactable" checkbox to allow object interactivity during Play Mode. If "Interactable" is enabled, the object will be visible and accessible to the user during Play Mode. If "Interactable" is not enabled, the object will still be displayed in Play Mode, but users will not be able to interact with it.

• Grabbable: You can toggle the "Grabbable" checkbox to allow a built-in grabbing interaction in Play Mode. However, "Interactable" need to be enabled to make the object grabbable.

note

If "Grabbable" is enabled, the user can grab and hold the object by long-press the right mouse button.

• Grab in PC Mode: You can grab and hold the object by long-press the right mouse button.
• Grab in XR Mode: You can grab and hold the object by pressing the Grap Button.

• Transform: You can configure the parameters of position, rotation, scale, offset to adjust the value of an object. Both aspects can be configure the X, Y and Z dimensions value. You can also press the average scale button to ensure the object can maintain the same size ratio when you adjusting the scale of the object. You can also press the reset button to let all parameters return to the default value.

note

Please refer to the XR Mode user guide for details of the grabbing action.

Physics Configuration

• Physics: You can toggle the "Enable" check box to allow physics-based interactions. If "Physics" is enabled, you can configure parameters like gravity, friction, bounciness, and mass to simulate physics in your Project to ensure that the objects correctly accelerate and respond to collisions, gravity, and various other forces.

Physics settings	Description
Use Gravity	The object will be affected by the gravitational force, causing it to fall or move downward.
Static	The object remains fixed in place and does not move or react to physics forces.
Friction	Friction determines the friction, or the resisting force of the object when sliding on another surface. There are four levels in Configuration:Zero, Low, Mid and High.
Bounciness	Bounciness determines the bounciness, or the degree of elasticity exhibited by an object when it collides with a surface or another object There are four levels in Configuration: Zero, Low, Mid and High.
Mass	The mass value for a object indicates how heavy or light it is compared to other objects in the scene.
Constraint	Constraints restrict movement along certain axes. You can toggle “Freeze Position” or “Freeze Rotation” check box to disable movement or rotation in certain axes. Constraints restrict movement along certain axes.

Text Object Configuration

Text Object has the extra configuration of the display text, font size, padding, font color, and background color.

Text settings	Description
Text	The text shown in the text box.
Font Size	Adjust font size.
Padding	Adjust the margin length between the text and the edge.
Font Color	Adjust font color.
Background Color	Adjust background color.

You can click on the color to launch the Color Panel for color selection. The font Color is preset as White (Hex-color: #FFFFFFFF, RGBA: 255,255,255,255). The Background Color is preset as Transparent Black (Hex-color: #00000000, RGBA: 0,0,0,0).

tip

There is an 6 digit color code in the Hex-color box to set the color value. First two digit codes relate to Red color value. The third and fourth digit codes represent Green Color value. The last two digit codes represent Blue colour value. The text box next to the Hex-color box takes value of percentage which is the extent of transparency.

2D Image/Video Configuration

2D Image and 2D Video Object both has the extra configuration of Keep Aspect Ratio and Two-Sided.

If Keep Aspect Ratio is enabled, the default size of the object will follow the aspect ratio of the media asset instead of a square. If Two-Sided is enabled, the user can also see a mirrored image/video when viewed from the back instead of a transparent object.

By default, the 2D Video Object has an extra configuration of "Control Button". You can toggle the "Control Button" option to enable the control buttons shown in the Play Mode.

Button in Play Mode	Functions
	Rewind a portion of the video
	Play the video. After the “Play” button is clicked, it will automatically change to the “Pause” button.
	Pause the video. After the “Pause” button is clicked, it will automatically change the “Play” button
	Stop the video.
	Fast forward a portion of the video

3D Image/Video Configuration

3D Image/Video has the extra configuration of setting its Image/Video Asset. The 3D Image/Video is represented with a sphere with a radius of 500m. It is better to spawn the 3D Image/Video at world origin to keep it aligned properly.

In Edit Mode, the 3D Image/Video spawned in the scene represents the 360 object. This is used for easy selection and will not be shown in Play Mode.

Document Configuration

Document Object has the extra configuration of Keep Aspect Ratio, Two-Sided, Selected Page and Show Button.

If Keep Aspect Ratio is enabled, the default size of the object will follow the aspect ratio of the media asset instead of a square.

If "Show Button" is enabled, the user can see control buttons in Play Mode.

Point of Interest Configuration

You can toggle the "Set Active" option to activate the status of Point of Interest. If "Set Active" is enabled, the object will be shown in green color and the user can travel to the destination of Point of Interest. Otherwise, it will be greyed out. The Orientation of robot represents the direction the user will face after teleportation.

Action configuration

Actions are events that can be remotely triggered by other objects. More detail can be found in Create Re-usable Behaviour using Action session.

Add Real-World Tracked Entity to Scene

An Entity is an object that can follow the position and rotation of trackers in the real world, such as Vive Tracker, Controller and HMD. We can connect an entity with a given tracker so the entity will always update its position and rotation with the tracker. However, an entity is an empty object. It does not include any model. We still need to link the model we want to the entity.

Add Entity to Scene

Launch the Tracking Entity Setting Panel by clicking the "Entity Setting" () icon.

In Tracking Entity Setting Panel, toggle the Entity 0 switch to turn it on. Also, the user can change name using the rename button.

Attach Object to Entity

Select an Object, then use the "Link to another item" () (Ctrl + L) to link it with the Entity. It can link up multiple items to a single Entity.

Configure Entity

Select the Entity and open the Inspector. You will see the properties we can modify, including the position, rotation, and collider, as well as the list of linked items.

• Linked Items: A list of items linked to the entity.

Linked Items	Attribution	Description
Show Type	Auto	The linked items will hide in CAVE and Dome but will show in HMD and PC environment during playback
	On	The linked items are always shown.
	Off	The linked items are always hidden.
