Understanding Spaces
In Cavrnus, a "Space" refers to a unique configuration of a virtual 3D environment where users can convene to collaborate and review designs. Here's how the concept of a Space works within Cavrnus:
Unique Configurations: Each Cavrnus Space represents a virtual environment with a distinct set of property values. By connecting an Unreal Engine game level with a Cavrnus Space, properties in that level are stored in that Space. Those properties are also synchronized to all other users who connect to that Space with the same Unreal Engine game level. These property values are also persistent. So upon returning to a Space, game level properties will update to the latest state of that Space.
Journal: Each Cavrnus Space consists of a Journal that records the complete history of property transactions. This includes property updates, conversations, object additions/removal, and changes made to the scene by team members. The Journal serves as a chronological log, tracing all activities back to the creation of the Cavrnus Space.
Multiple Spaces for the Same Design: The same design or project can be presented in multiple Spaces within Cavrnus. Each Space provides a separate environment for users to explore and interact with the design, with its own unique Journal to track activities and changes specific to that Space.
Unlimited Spaces: Cavrnus accounts can have an unlimited number of Spaces associated with a particular domain. Therefor, users can create multiple Cavrnus Spaces to accommodate different Unreal Engine game levels, or various configurations of the same level. This allows users to create and manage multiple Spaces to accommodate various projects, teams, or collaborations within their organization.
Space Management: The management of Cavrnus Spaces can be handled by users with appropriate access permissions and roles, such as administrators or moderators. Users can be assigned different roles that set authority to manage Spaces, invite participants, configure settings, and oversee activities within each Space.
Overall, the concept of a Space in Cavrnus provides users with a flexible and customizable environment for collaboration and design review. With the ability to create multiple Spaces, each with its own Journal and configuration, users can effectively manage projects, track progress, and collaborate with stakeholders in a structured and organized manner.
Adding/Removing Spaces
From the Cavrnus Management Console
Navigate to the Spaces section of the Cavrnus Management Console for your domain. (e.g. https://console.<CompanyName>.cavrn.us )
Click the New Space button.
Then simply give your Space a name. Each space will be assigned a Built-in Join ID, an auto-generated 24-digit hexadecimal unique ID, as seen in the image above.
Custom Join ID: You can also assign a user-friendly Join ID as any combination of letters, numbers, hyphens, or underscores. This ID must be unique within your Cavrnus domain.
Guest Access: Specify if a guest can join a space anonymously using a hyperlink, or whether the Space requires login credentials from an authorized user in your Cavrnus domain.
Click “Save”.
You should now see this space show up on your Spaces board, and from any lists in your Cavrnus applications!
From the CSC interface
...
A new Space can be created from the Lobby by clicking the “New Space” function to create a new space. Give the Space a unique name. Initially, the Space Owner is the only member who can view the Space.

User Management from the Lobby
The original Space creator is automatically assigned the role of “Owner”.
From the CSC interface.
Once a Space is created, add new users to the access list by clicking the “Manage Members” button on the Space thumbnail.
Click the “+Add Member” button to assign access of the Space to members of the domain.
Assign roles for each member to define access privileges.
From the Web Portal
Select the Space from the Spaces section of the Web Portal.
Click the “Members” tab in the Space dialog box.
Click the “+Add Member” button to assign access of the Space to members of the domain. (Note: You must have the appropriate role assigned to you for that Space in order to add members.)
Inviting Guests
Guests can be invited to a Space by generating a temporary URL link that can be copied and pasted from the CSC interface.
Guests in the Space will have limited access to navigate and make changes to the Space, depending on the Roles and Policies of the domain.
