​
Overview

Pause Training configures objects that trigger a pause when the trainee collides with or interacts with them. Select the trigger objects and enter the message to display when the pause is triggered.

​
When to Use

  • Restricted areas: Warn the trainee when they enter an area that is off limits.
  • Hazardous equipment: Display a warning when the trainee interacts with equipment they should avoid.
  • Temporary safety boundaries: Keep pause triggers active during a training phase, then clear them when the area becomes accessible.

​
Parameters

​
Configuring Pause Training

1

Add the action

Select the step where the boundary or warning should become active. Open On Entry in the Properties panel and add Pause Training.
2

Select trigger objects

Expand the action and use Edit in Scene to select the objects that should trigger the pause. The selected objects appear under Trigger Objects.
3

Enter the pause message

In Pause Message, enter a warning such as “You have entered a restricted area. Return to the designated walkway.”

​
Key Behavior

  • Running the action configures the triggers. The pause is triggered when the trainee collides with or interacts with a selected object.
  • All objects selected in this action use the same pause message.
  • Use Clear Pause Triggers when the boundary or warning is no longer needed.

​
Example: Warn When the Trainee Enters a Restricted Area

A factory training scene contains an object marking a restricted area beside a machine. The trainee should stay on the designated walkway during the inspection. In the inspection step’s On Entry actions, add Pause Training with:
  • Trigger Objects: The scene object marking the restricted area.
  • Pause Message: “You have entered a restricted area. Return to the designated walkway.”
When the step begins, the trigger becomes active. If the trainee enters the area and collides with the selected trigger object, the pause is triggered and the warning message appears. When the area becomes accessible in a later step, add Clear Pause Triggers and select the same object under Objects to Clear.

​
Best Practices

  • Choose relevant objects: Select objects that represent the boundary or equipment the trainee should avoid.
  • Give a clear instruction: Explain the problem and the action the trainee should take.
  • Test the interaction: Verify that each selected object triggers the intended message on the device used for training.
  • Clear triggers when needed: Remove restrictions when the training reaches a phase where those objects or areas are allowed.
