Last updated 5 months ago

When working with imported 3D models in ShapesXR, it's common for individual assets exported separately from a 3D editor to have mismatched positions, scales, or orientations. To ensure proper alignment of such models, especially if they need to fit together seamlessly (e.g., separate parts of a single object), the "Place in the Center" button in the Model Preview Popup is an essential tool. Key Features:

  • Align to Center: Clicking "Place in the Center" moves the model to the center of the coordinate system. This helps standardize the model's position, making it easier to work with multiple assets that must align precisely. Set the Scale factor > 0.1 to make this option available.

  • Adjusting Scale: If an imported model has incorrect dimensions, you can use the Scale option in this window to correct the size and ensure it matches other assets.

  • Orientation Correction: For models that are rotated incorrectly, the Orientation controls let you adjust the rotation along the X, Y, or Z axes, allowing the model to be properly aligned.

  • These tools ensure that your imported models are correctly positioned, scaled, and oriented, making creating cohesive and well-structured projects in ShapesXR easier.
