Basic Tips & Tricks for sharing a room space

  • In the editing menu you can lock and unlock objects in the space. Any visitors will not be able to move, edit, or unlock locked objects until you unlock them. You can also use the “Lock All” and “Unlock All” buttons to lock and unlock all objects in the given layer. This can be useful when used in a space where you may not fully trust (such as children in a classroom) the visitors, or want to simply have them view without accidentally moving or changing something.
  • On the main menu you can edit your username on the left hand side before entering a space.
  • Any guests in VR will be able to select and export objects from your space. Also, any objects created by a guest in your space will be treated the same as objects you create and can be moved and manipulated.
  • You can only view a space on desktop, and it does not update the space as objects change. Viewing on desktop should be avoided if possible, but still allows people to explore the space nonetheless.
