📐Transforming Content
Learn how to move, scale, and rotate 3D content in Scene Viewer.
Moving 3D Content
Move the model by tapping the screen with one finger and moving the finger around the screen.
Scaling 3D Content
Using Touch Screen Gestures
Scale the model by pinching the screen with two fingers.
Using Metadata
You can use metadata to persistently transform 3D content.
If the content is too big or too small, go back to the console and add metadata to affect its transformation. After adding or changing metadata refresh the browser and relaunch the experiences for the changes to take effect.
The following keys are words the system uses as pre-defined metadata keys to control transformations:
scale
float
Any positive number. Default value is 1.
Grows or shrinks the hologram uniformly
Rotating 3D Content
Using Touch Screen Gestures
Rotate the model by placing two fingers on the screen and moving them in a circular motion.
You can also use two thumbs and move them up and down, each thumb in the opposite direction.
Using Metadata
You can use metadata to persistently transform 3D content.
If you can add metadata to further adjust the starting rotation of the model. After adding or changing metadata refresh the browser and relaunch the experiences for the changes to take effect.
The following keys are words the system uses as pre-defined metadata keys to control transformations:
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
Adding Text to 3D Content
You can add annotations to the model using the Model Editor.
Controlling 3D Animations
If you'd like to control built-in animations of the content, go back to the console and add metadata to control animations. After adding metadata, relaunch the experience.
The following keys are words the system uses as pre-defined metadata keys to control built-in animations:
Keyword
Type
Options
Description
autoplay
boolean
Either 'true' or 'false'.
Default value 'true'.
Play the default animation automatically.
animationsTrigger
string
Either 'click' or 'after'. Default value 'click'.
Play the next animation by clicking the model or automatically after the previous animation.
animation<X>_name
string
Any string that matches a name of an existing built-in animation in the asset's pre-defined animations list.
The animation's place in the sequence of the animations that is presented.
animation_loop
boolean
Either 'true' or 'false'.
Default value 'false'.
Play the animation once or in a loop. This option is available only if 'animationsTrigger' is not set to 'after'.
For example:
Key
Value
animation1_name
walking
animation2_name
running
