Menu
To launch the menu, press and hold the Menu button, move the controller to the desired mode/state and release the Menu button to select a mode or toggle a state.
Modes
Set the mode for the controller by selecting one of the top six items in the menu. The choice only applies to the controller from where the menu was launched - this allows you to e.g. select materials with one hand while the other can move objects.
Take Screenshot
- Enables you to grab screenshots of what you see in VR
Fly
Aim the controller in the direction you want to move and press the trigger. Control the speed by adjusting the pressure on the trigger. You can also rotate the view with a sideways swipe on the track pad or by moving the joystick sideways.
Teleport Body
The controller can be used to aim at locations on the floor, and the trigger button transports the HMD to that location. You can also rotate the view with a sideways swiping motion on the track pad or joystick.
Move Object
When you aim at an object and the beam color changes from grey to green it means that the object can be moved. Aim at an object, press and hold the trigger to grab it and release it to drop the object again. If physics is activated objects have inertia, and can be thrown around. If the controller is aimed at the environment, then the environment can be rotated (unless it has been locked when the scene was set up).
A quick press in and out of the trigger while in Move Object mode will activate the Fine Move Object mode with a 3D widget for rotation and translation of the object. See Fig 2.
Switch Model Set
Each press of the trigger button selects the next Model Set. Press and hold the trigger to see/select between all available Model Sets. This will bring out a grid view of all options, where you can select the one(s) you want to see.
Switch environmentCycle through environments by pressing the trigger. You can also press and hold the trigger to show all available environments in a grid layout. Move the controller and release the trigger to select the highlighted environment.
Switch Materials
When you aim at a part, and the color of the beam changes from grey to green, it means that the part has several material options (Multi-Material). Pressing the trigger button will cycle through the available materials. You can also press and hold the trigger to bring up all materials in the current Multi-Material in a grid layout (Fig 3). Move the controller to select between the options and release the trigger when the desired material is highlighted.
Select CameraThe controller can be used to aim at cameras in the scene, and the trigger button transports the HMD to that location. The beam will always snap to the nearest camera position. To rotate the point of view, swipe sideways on the track pad or move the joystick in the direction you want to rotate.

Animation -Starts/stops the animation sequence from the BIP file
Physics
-Activates/deactivates physics. When physics is activated and the user moves objects around, they will behave as rigid objects under gravity.
Object Info
- When Object Info is enabled, the properties of the item you are pointing to, will be displayed next to the controller (and in the desktop UI).
Snapping -Toggle snapping, snapping is used in connection with the precise move tool and the measure tool. Learn more on the Handling objects in the scene page.
