Metaverse editor
In the Customize your metaverse section, you have the opportunity to shape your metaverse and add various elements such as 3D spaces, buildings, decorations, and floating photos for advertisements. These elements can be arranged in a neat and visually appealing manner. To assist you in this process, the following tools are available:
Editing a model
Each model within your metaverse is editable. Depending on your plan, you are given different levels of flexibility. From editing the screens only to fully customizing your metaverse.
Translate
This option allows you to move and position the added elements with XYZ coordinates. You can use the blue and red arrows to move stands and decorative elements horizontally (right to left, front to back), while the green arrow allows you to lift and suspend objects in the air. For example, in the image below, the banana tree is positioned using the red and blue arrows and suspended using the green arrow.
Rotate
This option enables you to rotate the models to achieve the desired orientation.
Scale
You can use this option to adjust the size and shape of the added elements by stretching or elongating them.

Model features
Examinable
Under Features in the properties editor, you will find the Examinable option. An examinable model can be rotated and zoomed in on. It is a great way to showcase a product or a piece of art. Visitors have the ability to interact with your model by simply clicking on it, enabling them to rotate and view it from various angles. This feature is especially valuable for showcasing products or art pieces, allowing users to explore and examine every aspect of the model for a more comprehensive understanding and appreciation."
