Positioning and hand gestures

Immersive for Autodesk VRED gives you two ways to place the streamed model: hand gestures directly in the immersive view for quick placement, and the Position panel in the floating app window for precision.

Want to save a placement and have it return next session? Saving positions as presets is only available in the paid Innoactive Spatial edition. See Positioning and hand gestures (Innoactive Spatial) for the preset workflow, or contact support@innoactive.de to upgrade.

Place the model with hand gestures

When the model is unlocked, three simple gestures cover everything:

• One-hand drag — move the model horizontally (left, right, forward, back). Vertical is locked so the model doesn't drift off the floor.
• Two-hand rotation — rotate around the vertical axis. Rotation is constrained so the model stays upright.
• Pinch and stretch — scale the model up or down. The app snaps to 1× when you're close, so finding original size is easy.

Gestures only work when the model isn't locked. If a gesture has no effect, check the locking mode in the Position panel below.

Place the model with the Position panel

For finer control, open the Position panel from the floating app window. It exposes the same operations as gestures plus several extras:

• Locking mode — Free placement, Snap to floor, Locked to floor, or Locked in space.
• Place — toggle a placement mode that shows preview indicators while you drag the model into position.
• Scale presets — a menu of percentages (0.01% to 10%) for 1:N scaled-down reviews of large models.
• Reset — restore original position, rotation, and scale.

Lock the model in place

Once the model is where you want it, pick a locking mode to prevent accidental nudges:

Mode	What it does
Free placement	All gestures and panel controls active
Snap to floor	Vertical position locked to the detected floor; horizontal drag still works
Locked to floor	Position fully locked; rotation and scale gestures still work
Locked in space	All gestures disabled — the model stays put no matter what your hands do

There's also a quick lock toggle on the panel that cycles to Locked in space and remembers your previous mode, so you can lock for a presentation and unlock back to your last setup with two taps.

In a two-user session the host controls the locking state for the participant — your local lock toggle is disabled when the other person is hosting.

Saving positions across sessions

The Save preset button in the Position panel — which captures position, rotation, scale, and anchoring reference for instant recall next session — is only available in the paid Innoactive Spatial edition. In Immersive for Autodesk VRED, every session starts fresh and you place the model again.

If a recurring layout (e.g. a fixed seating-buck position) is critical to your workflow, the upgrade to Innoactive Spatial also unlocks Image / Object / Tracker anchoring, Seating Buck Calibration, and more concurrent participants. See Positioning and hand gestures (Innoactive Spatial) for the full preset and anchoring documentation, or write to support@innoactive.de.
