After you have added an object, you can select it and transform its size, rotation and position easily, by changing the mode in the left panel

Control the camera​

To move inside the editor you need to get accustomed to the camera controls. In the play mode dverso attaches the camera to your avatar to make it easy to control what you are seeing, but inside the editor we need more, so the camera becomes a flying one! Here the control scheme.

  • Wheel scroll zoom in/zoom out
  • Middle button pan to control camera rotation
  • Right button pan to control camera position

Alternatively you can control camera rotation by clicking and moving the gizmo in the bottom right

Each object has a wide variety of configuration to it and to customize them you need to go into the Properties panel (Refer to Move, resize and rotate objects).

After you opened the properties panel you can change a series of properties regarding the object. Each kind of object has a set of properties different from other kinds of object. You can check all the Objects properties here
