📐Transforming Content

Learn how to move, scale, rotate, and add text to 3D content in React Native

You can go back to the console to add more 3D models, delete 3D models, add metadata, or change existing metadata associated with your entry and instantly see the changes in React Native.

For example, let's add metadata with the key direction and the value right.

This will make the 3D model rotate to the right.

Moving, Scaling, and Rotating 3D Content

If the content is too big or too small or if you'd like to move or rotate it, go back to the console and add metadata to affect its transformation. After adding metadata, restart the app.

The following keys are words the system uses as pre-defined metadata keys to control transformations:

Keyword	Type	Options	Effect
x	float	Any positive or negative number. Default value is 0.	Moves the hologram on the x-axis
y	float	Any positive or negative number. Default value is 0.	Moves the hologram on the y-axis
z	float	Any positive or negative number. Default value is 0.	Moves the hologram on the z-axis
scale	float	Any positive number. Default value is 1.	Grows or shrinks the hologram uniformly
xAngle	float	Any positive or negative number. Default value is 0.	Rotates the model on the x-axis
yAngle	float	Any positive or negative number. Default value is 0.	Rotates the model on the y-axis
zAngle	float	Any positive or negative number. Default value is 0.	Rotates the model on the z-axis

Remember to restart the app after adding metadata with React Native apps for the changes to take effect.

Adding Text to 3D Content

If you'd like to annotate the content, go back to the console and add metadata to add text. After adding metadata, refresh the browser.

The following keys are words the system uses as pre-defined metadata keys to add and design text:

Keyword	Type	Options	Description
text	string	Any string. The character ';' represents a line break.	Text to appear with the 3D content
textColor	string	Any color. Default value is "white".	Color of the text
xTextPosition	float	Any positive or negative number. Default value is "0"	Position of the text in the x-axis relative to the 3D content
yTextPosition	float	Any positive or negative number. Default value is "0"	Position of the text in the y-axis relative to the 3D content
zTextPosition	float	Any positive or negative number. Default value is "0"	Position of the text in the z-axis relative to the 3D content
textScale	float	Any positive number. Default value is "2".	Scale of the text

Remember to restart the app after adding metadata with React Native apps for the changes to take effect.
