Move, Rotate and Select: Toggle selection between the movement gizom, the rotation gizmo and selection only modes.

Hand means the other two buttons are deselected. No gizmo is visible.

Hotkey: N/A

While the Movement gizmo is visible, you can move the objects selected in the viewport.

The movement gizmo allow you to type a number to move that distance in metres, or to drag by the arrow or the plan normal to the arrow.

Hotkey: 1

While the Rotation gizmo is visible, you can rotate the selected objects in the viewport.

The rotation gizmo allows you to drag any of the three axes, or click on an axis to type a value in.​​​​​​​

Hotkey: 2

Selection Axis: Toggle the model movement gizmo from the model origin, to the center of the model geometry.

When selecting multiple resources this toggles if each resource rotates about its individual axis or if the whole group rotates. This does nothing if you only have one object selected.

Hotkey: Z

When selecting multiple resources to rotate as a group, this toggle selects if the group of objects rotates (as a group) about the pivot of the group or if the group rotates about the first object selected. This does nothing if you only have one object selected.

Hotkey: C

Pivot Orientation: Toggle between world (lat/Long) and Object Orientation for the Pivot.

This toggle selects if the objects pivot point is orientated towards the axis of the object or the axis of world e.g. Z = North, X = East.

​​​​​​​Hotkey: X

Camera Modes: Toggle Between Normal and Orbit camera modes. When in Orbit mode the scene can be further toggled between perspective and orthographic render modes.

This Toggle selects if the camera is set to a Orthographic view or an Perspective view of the world within the Viewport.

Orthographic means you have the same view from above as if it were a 2D drawing, often used with the view cube ”UP”.​​​​​​​

Hotkey: N/A

Hide & Show shortcuts: Use these tools to hide or show selected elements.

Hide Selected, Hide Unselected and Show All work as expected.

Only one model (or parts thereof) can be selected at the same time.

Selecting the model will make it ‘dither’, that is, partially fade out.

Selecting parts of the model will turn them light green. These can then be used for prefabs, manual linking or other purposes.

The model hierarchy and these functions work in conjunction with each other, i.e. hiding something using the ‘hide selected’ method will show it hidden in the model hierarchy and vice versa.

Hiding objects, in the world or in the hierarchy can be reversed with 'Show All.'

Ctrl+Click allows multiple individual items to be selected.

Marquee (Lasso) selection is possible. Hold the spacebar, click and drag over the area.

To unselect everything, click away or press Ctrl+D for deselect.

Home View & Screenshot:

Use the first icon to return to the home view.

Use the second icon to record a screenshot to the folder selected in user preferences.

View Cube: use the view cube to orientate the scene to common view angles. Users can selected faces, edges and corners of the view cube for a total of 26 standard views.

Interactive Mode: allows users to experience the 3D or 4D environment of Tobe Builder from a interactive first person walking, running or driving point of view.

VR Mode: allows the users to connect a Meta Quest 3 AR/VR headset to the PC via a tethers USB C cable, and experience the project scene live via the VR headset.

Section Tool: can be used to create a section plane within the scene window. This can be used to look inside BIM, GIS or Resource features. Planes can be saved and then turned on or off, as well as reset.
