Controls & Shortcuts

Here is a quick list of basic controls you can use to navigate your project in VoxEdit and many helpful shortcuts.

Within All VoxEdit Modules

The Block Editor, Modeler, and Animator are very different creative tools that include some of the same controls built into the user interface. Options in the dropdown menus vary.

File: Upload to Workspace

The file format differs between modules, but the process to upload all of your creations to your Workspace for testing, use in Experiences, and preparation for the Marketplace is the same.

Edit

Provides options to copy, cut, paste, and more. Options vary between modules.

Help

Help redirects you to this VoxEdit documentation.

Feedback

Feedback redirects you to a form to submit feedback or technical issues to our team.

Located in the top right of many VoxEdit panels, use this button to pop out the panel, resize it, and move it anywhere on your screen. Click it again to return it to its home.

Create an image of the current view in the Workspace in .PNG format with a transparent background. Adjust your camera position if needed.
