Use the "Elements" column in composition mode

The "Elements" column allows you to have a vision of all the existing elements in your scene.

Elements are the objects that make up scenes. They can be of several types:

• Images
• Sounds
• Videos
• Text
• Triggers
• 3D object
• Quiz

This column is available from the 3D view and 360 view, as well as in Timeline and Composition modes.

You can add an element by clicking on the icon to expand the list of proposed elements and then drag and drop the type of element you want on the Stage.

You can rename items and aspects in the item column. To do this, simply double-click on the name of the element or appearance and then change the name.  

In the item column on the right side of the screen, five icons follow the item's name, regardless of the type of item being added.

They allow you to access:

• properties ,
• the implications,
• lock/unlock elements in the scene ,
• show/hide the item in the virtual environment ,
• Access a drop-down menu with more options .

This drop-down menu allows you to create a group, delete the element, locate the element in the scene or copy the element or duplicate it.

You can also access aspects of items from this column:

 In case the aspects are not displayed by default, you can view them by clicking on this icon and then clicking on "SHOW ASPECTS"

Then, the item column allows you to search for a particular item by typing its name in the search bar at the top of the column.

Vous pouvez également cliquer sur cette icône pour sélectionner des filtres pour n’afficher que certains éléments.

There you go! Now you know everything about the "Elements" column in Sphere.
