VR Navigation

Move around your 3D models in VR

Learn the basics of moving through your models in VR. Whether on desktop or in VR, these fundamentals will help you collaborate and navigate confidently.

How to Move Around

Smart Navigation

Use your right controller to navigate:

  • Push the right joystick forward to walk in the direction you’re looking
  • Release the joystick to stop
  • Use the grip button to fine-tune your position
  • Push the joystick left or right to rotate your view

Tips

  • Move slowly to stay oriented, especially in narrow or complex areas
  • Practice walking toward doorways or walls to build comfort

What to Know

  • Adjust walking speed using the slider in the left-hand menu
  • Switch navigation modes by clicking the person icon in the same menu

How to Use the Laser Tool

The laser pointer lets you highlight areas for other participants to see.

Activate the Laser

  1. Look to your left-hand toolbelt
  2. Click the wrench icon
  3. Select the laser pointer icon
  4. Hold the trigger button on your controller to point the laser

Tips

  • Use it during walkthroughs to highlight specific areas
  • Everyone in the session can see your laser
  • The laser turns off when you release the button or switch to another tool

How to Draw and Mark Up

Drawings help capture decisions and highlight issues during reviews.

Activate Drawing Tools

  1. Open the left-hand toolbelt
  2. Click the wrench icon
  3. Click the paintbrush icon
  4. Choose your drawing type:
    • Draw on surface – attach sketches to floors, walls, or objects
    • Draw in the air – float sketches in 3D space

How to Draw

Hold the trigger and move your controller like a pen.

When to Draw on Surfaces

  • To mark a specific issue or location
  • To suggest changes to equipment placement or layout
  • To provide clear, context-specific feedback

When to Draw in the Air

  • To outline zones or volumes where no surface exists
  • To sketch conceptual ideas without anchoring them to an object
  • To illustrate spatial sequences or flows

What to Know

  • All participants can see your drawings
  • Drawings remain visible until deleted, but they are not saved after the session
  • Take screenshots to save them for future reference

You’re Ready

With these basics, you can navigate models and communicate effectively with your team.
