Toolbar menu

Toolbar menu

Formatting toolbar

When creating your own 3D presentations, the toolbar allows you to select, transform and format objects in various ways.

All functionality follows this order of instructions:

  1. Select an object by clicking on it, or select multiple objects by using Shift+Click or the lasso tool
  2. The floating toolbar will automatically appear
  3. Outline of the selected objects will match the current object or sub-object mode
  4. Toggle between object or sub-objects as required using Tab or clicking on the
  5. Select your chosen transform, format, duplicate, or delete button.

Fixed or floating toolbar

When using JigSpace on Windows or Mac, you can choose to fix (or pin) the toolbar to the side of your screen to give you a clearer view of your 3D models when you are transforming or formatting them.

Use the Shift+P shortcut to toggle between floating or fixed toolbar.

Summary of toolbar buttons

Tool bar options all marked out and highlighted in the app

1. Object mode / Sub-object mode

Your object is grouped and will be modified all together in object mode {icon-object-mode.svg} or you can access to the sub-object mode {icon-sub-object-mode.svg} by clicking on the icon. You can toggle between object mode and sub-object mode with the Tab keyboard shortcut.

2. Move

The Move tool  {icon-move.svg} allows you to move a selected object in the x, y, z axis. You can move objects by clicking and dragging them, or by using the object property panel. Learn more above moving and position of 3D models.

3. Rotate

The Rotate tool {icon-rotate.svg} allows you to rotate an object across steps, this can be a great way to create a movement in a Jig. You can rotate objects by clicking and dragging, or by inputting an exact degree of roll, pitch, or yaw, of an object axis directly in the object property panel. Learn more about transforming rotation of 3D models.

4. Scale

The Scale tool {icon-scale.svg} enables you to scale an object across steps. You can change the scale of an object while retaining proportions, or stretch an object. Objects can be scaled precisely using the object property panel.

5. Color, materials, and textures

Adding color and materials to your Objects and Sub-Objects from your color tool {icon-colour.svg} makes your 3D models look more realistic. Color can also be used to define and highlight important objects on a particular step as part of your presentation.

6. Duplicate

To get an exact copy of the object you've been working on, you can use the Duplicate tool {icon-duplicate.svg} Duplicating an object is always a great way to experiment with different size, rotation, materials, and colors without modifying the original object.

7. Delete

When building a Jig, you may find that you have accidentally imported the wrong model, have a new one to replace it, or you no longer need this model in the Jig. Deleting an object removes that object from your step.

8. Multi-select and custom group tool

When editing multiple models in your Jig you can perform bulk changes on groups of them using multi-select tool {icon-multiselect.svg}. 

You can select multiple objects in the following ways:

  • Lasso
  • Desktop: Hold Shift + clicking on one object at a time
  • iPad or iPhone: Press multi-select button and tap on one object at a time until complete.
