Part Information

When activated, your controller's laser or your mouse will allow you to view a part's specific information (part number, instance name, metadata, [etc.]). To use it, simply point your controller's laser at a part [whose] information you wish to view, and a small window will open in your [field of view], displaying the information.

Custom Parameters

Parameter	Description
Display Metadata	[Show metadata for the selected part]
Display Hierarchy Metadata	Show the metadata of the [parent parts]
Scale Factor	Size of the window: Small, Normal, Large, Huge
Update Only On Click	By default[,] update is done on hover
Hide Empty Metadata	Hide metadata with empty values to improve readability

Set Display Name

When used, this command [lets] you write [a] new name for the selected part.

Note: If several parts are selected, they will [all receive] the same display name.

Reset Parts Position

When used, this command will reset the position of all selected objects to their original position (i.e., the [position] they were in when you launched the SkyReal VR simulation).

Note: If no objects are selected when activating this command, the positions of all of the objects in the simulation will be reset.

Compass Manipulation

The Compass Manipulation command lets you move parts from the desktop interface. You can also choose an absolute position, increment the position, and more.

See the dedicated Compass Manipulation section in the Manipulation page for more details.

Isolate

This command isolates the selected parts and [focuses] the view on them. [This means] that all unselected parts are hidden.

To leave isolation mode, you can either re-execute the command (without [any] selection) or click on the exit button in the desktop interface.

This command is also accessible from the context menu of the product tree in the Hierarchy menu.

Fit Product

Note: This command will only be usable if you have selected one or more objects.

When activated, this command will allow you to resize the selected objects using the controller.

Tips

Use Part Information during design reviews to quickly inspect metadata without leaving the VR environment.
Isolate is especially useful when working on complex assemblies, allowing you to focus on specific components without visual clutter.
Use Fit Product after selecting a part to quickly center your view on it, particularly helpful in large-scale models.
Reset Parts Position with no selection is a quick way to restore the entire scene to its original state.
