Scenes and Saving

​

Scene Loading

When a scene is loading, Scene Manager blocks interaction and shows a loading dialog with:

• Loading <Scene Name>
• Preparing assets... during metadata preparation
• A progress bar
• Download percentage when available
• Asset counts such as 3 / 12 assets
• Download size information such as loaded bytes versus total bytes
• Status text including Downloading assets, Download failed, or Complete

​

Scene Naming

The scene name is edited inline in the top header. Users can click the current name, change it, and commit the change by pressing Enter or clicking away.

​

New and Save As

The File tab contains the scene creation and duplication actions.

​

New

New opens the New Scene modal. Confirming the form creates a new scene and opens it in a new browser tab. New Scene modal for creating a new scene in the active organization.

​

Save As

Save As opens the Save Scene As modal. Confirming the form duplicates the current scene into a new scene and opens that copy in a new browser tab. Save Scene As modal for duplicating the current scene with a new name.

​

Shared Dialog Fields

Both dialogs contain the same core fields:

• Scene Name: required text field for the new or copied scene name
• Organization: required read-only organization display

Buttons:

• Continue in New Scene
• Save in Save Scene As

​

Scene Properties

The Scene Properties modal includes:

• Far Clip Plane: maximum camera draw distance
• Near Clip Plane: minimum camera draw distance

Both fields accept numeric input and support keyboard arrows and mouse wheel changes while focused.

​

Lighting Controls

The lighting group in the Scene Editor ribbon includes:

• A preset selector
• Performance quality selection
• A Shadows checkbox

These are production-visible advanced scene controls and are part of the normal editor experience.

​

Saving

Scene Manager supports manual save and autosave.

​

Manual Save

Users can save by:

• Clicking the save icon in the header
• Pressing Ctrl+S or Cmd+S

The app saves the current scene and shows toast feedback during the operation.

​

Autosave

Autosave is scheduled automatically after the last eligible change, using a short delay. Autosave can run when:

• There are unsaved changes
• A valid scene is open
• The app is not already saving

Autosave does not run when:

• There are no unsaved changes
• No valid scene is open
• A save is already in progress
• The user is actively dragging a transform gizmo

​

Save Messages

Users may encounter:

• Saving scene...
• Scene saved successfully!
• Save failed: ...

​

Save Workflow Tips

• Save manually before closing the tab even when autosave is active.
• Watch the footer until the scene returns to a saved state.
• If a conflict warning appears, do not assume your local version is the only latest version.
