Step 1: Crate Manager
Upon first opening PLAN, select the Crate Manager in the System Menu to see the Crates that are available. Crates come packed with 3D models, environments, and immersive content to explore. "PLAN App Core" and "Environments" are the default system Crates. We also recommend picking up "Models & Glyphs."
Tip - If you see a "Question box" that means you are still missing Crate content.
TRY THIS: you can resize the User Interface (UI) elements to better fit your screen and viewing preferences by selecting the Accessibility icon in the Launch Bar and using the plus and minus.
Step 2: Open the Home Space or Shared Space
After you have loaded all of the content within the Crates, open your Home Space by selecting the Home icon in the System Settings space (accessed throught the cog icon at the bottom left of the launch bar. Your Home Space is a place to contain all your 3D content, links, and channels.
Mobile and Desktop Controls
TRY THIS: Use the altitude slider on the right side of the screen to zoom in and out of a Space. Change perspectives by using multi-touch on mobile or by holding shift + left mouse click and drag.
Step 3: Design your Home Space
You can place 3D models and terrain content from your Crate Library at any location in a Space. To get started placing items and terrains, open up your Home Space and select any location on the screen and choose Place Node. The "Environments" and "Models & Glyphs" crates are a great place to start.
Tip: If you are unable to select an item in a Space, try the following: find a different perspective; if the item is large, zoom away from the object and select it again; if the item is small zoom in towards it.
Step 4: Explore!
A Channel is a container for content and information. Channels can have 2D or 3D interfaces — examples include a Space channel, Talk channel, and Sheets channel. To see the contents of any channel, select "Open Channel".
