Connections represent the course of a workflow and can be visualized in the 2D connector.

  • Add: Allows users to add Scene State Node, Menu, Pin (2D), Quiz Pin (2D), Barcode, Step, or Node Group.
  • Objects: Allows users to Duplicate, Copy, Paste, or Delete the nodes or connections.
  • Reset View: Resets the position and zoom factor of the window to the default values.
  • Scale to Fit: Makes all markers and pins visible at the same time.
  • Auto Layout: Allows you to automatically arrange markers and pins.
  • Focus On Selection: Positions the selected node to the center.
  • Preview Mode: Allows users to visualize the workflow they have created before finalizing it. This helps reduce the number of uploads to the FCC for corrections, saving time and effort. 

Adding Menu nodes in a workflow

By adding a Menu node and connecting it to different parts of the workflow, yu are able to navigate inside the workflow easily. You can add and choose between the options within the menu and move to  particular part of the workflow. 

Note: The Menu node can only be added in the Connector scene.

You can create connections by adding Menu nodes, give them a name and add descriptions. Their names will appear as a button within the workflow. 

To add a Menu node:

1. Go to Connector.

2. Click on Add.

3. Choose Menu.

4. Enter a name to the Menu node.

5. Optionally, you can choose the Menu node and add descriptions to it after clicking on Edit.

As the Menu node allows you to go back to all the menus you have visited, you can also create an Index and display all the menu options you have added. So, with your index created, you can navigate from one side of the workflow to the other easily.

To add an Index:

1.      Go to Settings.

2.      Select Menu Node.

3.      Choose Index from the dropdown menu.

When you would prefer to go back, all scene state nodes that have been active with the Menu node, will be reverted automatically. For this, the Back button toggle should be enabled:

Preview Mode

Preview Mode saves users time by allowing them to preview the workflow before exporting it to other devices. They can select a specific path within the workflow to see what will be displayed at that stage. This will include the appropriate Scene States with holograms and their animations. 

On selecting Enable Preview (or pressing "P"), users can define a sequence of workflow nodes to visualize the 3D content that would be visible in the workplace along this path.

To create or modify a path:

  • Hold the ALT key and hover over nodes in the Connector. This shows the shortest path from the start node to the hovered node.
  • Click on a node to confirm and set the preview path.
  • Simultaneously, the model in the scene updates to reflect this path. It can also be moved around and viewed from different angles.

Users can also extend or reduce a previously created Preview Path by holding ALT, hovering over different nodes, and clicking to confirm the new path.

Preview mode can be disabled by deselecting Enable Preview or pressing "P" again.
