Some features have their own page.

Features With Preview

Features With Preview (former Custom Features) can be any of the following features

• Scenario
• Design Scheme
• Variation Group
• Scene Travel
• Sequence Player

This section explains how to use them.

UI3 Designer

The Designer shows objects and their variations in a table like widget. It can connect to and modify

• Objects in the Scene that are in multiple locations or difficult to select
• Blueprint actors like the Modular Kitchen Builder or the Interactive Doors

UI3 Variation Actor

The Variations Actor is the link between the UI3 and the objects placed in the scene. It can

• change meshes and or their materials
• interact with any other blueprint using a blueprint interface
• provide more info about the object

The ObjectInfo Actor can provide information about an object but has no variations component.

UI3 Cost Tracking

When objects in the scene are modified, their costs will most likely change. Cost tracking allows to keep track of these changing costs.

UI3 - Scene Settings

Scene Settings affect the quality and performance of the scene.

They also control the movement of the player character and the player camera control.

UI3 Other Blueprint Actors

UI3 Input Controls & Game Modes

The Game Mode defines the type of game (Touch, VR) for the scene and what input devices are used to control it.

Some of the content is slightly different between versions.

UI3 In VR Projects

This will give you a brief overview of what is required to run the UI3 with a VR headset.

The demo project is optimised for PC and may run poorly in some VR environments. Your project needs to be performing well if you want to use it in VR!
