Navigation
The RealityPlan application allows you to edit and explore your space with multiple navigation modes.
Navigation Menu
Section titled “Navigation Menu”The navigation menu sits at the top left of the screen. It lets you move through your space using several navigation modes, grouped by type. Hover over a group to expand it and pick a mode; the icon shown in the menu always reflects the mode currently in use.
Modes 1 to 4 are Editor modes, which keep the interface and tools available while you move. Modes 5 and 6 are Explore modes, which hide the interface for an immersive walkthrough with your avatar. Mode 7 launches VR; see VR Settings to enable it. The control tables below list the keys and mouse actions for each mode.
To navigate in your space, mouse click to teleport, or
drag-and-drop the navigation mode icon onto the location you want to
land in the environment:
