Place the instruction panel

Goal: decide where a step's instruction panel appears: at a fixed place in the room, in front of the learner, or on an object.

Steps​

  1. In tab 2 Steps, click the step in the list.
  2. Switch to Guidance & UI.
  3. Choose the Placement Mode:
Placement ModeThe panel…Fields
World SpaceStands at a fixed place in the room.World Coordinates: where, in metres. Optional Spawn Point Target: an object in the scene whose position to use instead.
Player AttachedAppears in front of the learner when the step starts.Spawn Distance: how far in front of the headset, in metres.
Object AttachedSits on an object and moves with it.Attachment Target: the object, dragged from the Hierarchy. Local Offset: where on the object, in metres.

  1. For World Space and Object Attached, press Preview & Adjust to move the panel by eye. A preview window opens, and the numbers follow as you drag.

Which one to choose?​

  • World Space for most steps: the panel stays where you put it, next to what the learner works on.
  • Player Attached for the first and last steps, or when the learner moves around a lot, so the panel is always in view.
  • Object Attached when the instructions belong to a machine that moves.

Good to know​

  • An Object Attached panel needs an object. Without an Attachment Target, it ends up at the centre of the world, and tab 3 Generate lists it as a problem.
  • The learner always finds the panel. If the panel is out of view, an arrow near the learner points towards it.
  • Videos are lifted off the floor. When you pick a Video Size, the height is adjusted so the video's controls stay above the floor. You can change it afterwards.
