Scene Editor Overview

Scene Editor is the browser-based scene editor in Altoura. You use it to open a scene, place and organize 3D objects, edit how each object looks and behaves, animate objects on a timeline, and save the result back to the platform so it can be used in trainings. Scene Editor is a focused editor, not a general dashboard. You normally open it from a scene link in the Altoura Dashboard, and it opens in its own browser tab.

What You Can Do in Scene Editor

Open a scene that belongs to your organization and see it in a 3D viewport
Add 3D objects from your organization’s asset library, or drop a GLB file straight into the scene
Select, rename, hide, duplicate, and delete objects in a hierarchy tree
Move, rotate, and scale objects with on-screen gizmos or exact numbers
Edit an object’s pivot point, material color and texture, collider, and embedded animation settings

Key Terms

Term	Meaning
Scene	The complete 3D environment you are editing. Each scene belongs to one organization.
Organization	The organization that owns the scene. You must be a member of that organization to open it.
Object	Any item in the scene hierarchy: an imported 3D model, a part inside a model, an empty helper object, or the Initial User Position marker.
Initial User Position	A protected marker that shows where a trainee starts in the scene. It cannot be deleted or hidden.
Hierarchy	The parent-child tree of objects shown in the left panel. Children move with their parent.
Transform	Determines an object’s position, rotation, and scale in the scene. Every object has a transform, and a child’s transform is relative to its parent.
Pivot	The origin of an object’s local space. Rotation and scaling are applied around this point.
Collider	An invisible box, sphere, or capsule that defines an object’s shape for collision detection. It does not need to match the visible mesh exactly.
Timeline	A named, time-based sequence of tracks, keyframes, clips, and audio that plays back changes to objects in the scene.
Track	A row in a timeline bound to one object that holds the keyframes for a single property, such as position or visibility.
Keyframe	A point on a track that stores a property value at a specific time. Values between keyframes are interpolated automatically.
Recording	The timeline mode in which any change you make to an object is saved as a keyframe at the playhead’s current time.
