The HoloBuilder Web Editor allows you to include custom textured 3D objects in your HoloBuilder project, you can choose from a variety of shapes and customization tools. This might be extremely helpful to point something out in the scene, give added information, or cover up part of the 360°. For example, you might want to cover up the nadir in the image, which is usually the person holding the camera. Find out how to use this tool:
NOTE: Please be aware that custom textured shapes are ONLY available in the Web Editor. They cannot be added or edited in the JobWalk App. Any 3D objects won't be displayed in the JobWalk App in order to make the JobWalk experience as easy and functional as possible.
