Annotation
Cavrnus stores annotations as persistent objects in the Journal in real-time. When you leave the Space, the paint strokes and annotation tags will still be there when you return to it.
| Info |
|---|
Pro-tip: You can use whiteboards from the Cavrnus Content Library as a clean surface to paint markings. |
For more information, see the /wiki/spaces/CSM/pages/926810117 page.
Snapshot
Cavrnus stores snapshots in the Content Library for future reference. Images are immediately available to all users in the Space, and you can place them in the scene by inserting them from the Content Library.
X-Ray
When objects are selected for X-Ray mode, a boolean is stored in the Journal to track its state. This is updated in real-time, and remains persistent within the given Space. The next time you return to that Space, the same objects will still be in X-Ray mode until you change it.
The X-Ray feature can also be applied to objects placed in the scene from the Cavrnus Content Library. Exceptions to this include stream boards, white boards, and PDF boards, which do not change appearance when selected by the X-Ray tool. Use caution when placing objects in the scene while the X-Ray tool is active. This may set the object at the insertion point to the X-Ray material.
Explode
Explode states work the same way as standard CVT. However the state of the explode animation remains persistent in a Space. If a user activates the animation to an exploded state, it will persist in that state each time you return to the Space until it is reset. In other Spaces, the explode state may be different, as each Space has it’s own Journal.
For more information, see the /wiki/spaces/CSM/pages/927760385 page.
Scale
The scale tool in the Interaction Menu is synchronized with the scale tool in the standard CVT menu. It includes a slider control for more precise scaling, and works the same way when integrated with Cavrnus.
For more information, see the World Scaling page.
Bookmarks
Bookmarks are stored persistently and distributed to other users in the Space in real-time.
For more information, see the /wiki/spaces/CSM/pages/927596590 page.
3D Cut Volume
Cut Volumes are stored persistently and distributed to other users in the Space in real-time.
Datasmith
Cavrnus-CVT is configured by default to import local models into the scene using Datasmith. Datasmith files are ported to other users and configuration details are stored in the Journal.
Refer to the Epic Documentation for more information on using Datasmith.
When an interaction mode is active, such as Xray Apply , the name of the mode appears in the lower right of the viewport.
