Operators cannot modify: * Interactability * Ghost behavior * Animation settings * Playback speed or direction All interaction capabilities are read-only and enforced based on how the model was configured during authoring. *** # 1. Interactable ## Definition The **Interactable** setting determines whether a 3D model can be manipulated by the operator during execution. This setting is configured in Author Mode at the model level. *** ## Configuration in Author Mode In Author Mode: * The author selects a model. * Enables or disables the **Interactable** toggle. This configuration is saved as part of the step state. *** ## Behavior in Operator Mode Interactable model in Operator Mode that has been repositioned, showing a reset control to return it to its authored position ### If Interactable = Disabled * The model appears in its authored position. * The operator cannot grab, move, or reposition the model. * The model remains fixed in space. * The model functions as a visual reference only. ### If Interactable = Enabled * The operator can grab and move the model. * The model can be repositioned in physical space. * Movement affects only the current session. * The original authored configuration is not permanently modified. *** ## Important Notes * Operators cannot toggle Interactable on or off. * Interactable behavior is enforced exactly as defined during authoring. * Interactable is evaluated per model, per step. *** # 2. Interactable Ghost Interactable Ghost enabled — a moved model shown with a reset control hovered near the ghost placeholder at the original authored position ## Definition **Interactable Ghost** provides a visual reference to the model’s original authored position after it has been moved in Operator Mode. This setting depends on Interactable being enabled. *** ## Configuration in Author Mode In Author Mode: * Ghost can only be enabled if Interactable is enabled. * If Interactable is disabled, Ghost is automatically unavailable. * Ghost is configured per model. This configuration is stored at the step level. *** ## Behavior in Operator Mode ### If Interactable = Enabled and Ghost = Enabled * When the operator moves the model: * A shadow or ghost remains at the original authored position. * The ghost indicates the intended placement. * The moved model and the ghost are both visible. ### If Interactable = Enabled and Ghost = Disabled * The model can be moved. * No ghost appears. * Only the relocated model is visible. ### If Interactable = Disabled * Ghost behavior does not apply. * The model cannot be moved. * No ghost is shown. *** ## Functional Relationship The dependency chain is: Interactable must be enabled → Ghost can be enabled If Interactable is turned off in Author Mode: → Ghost is automatically inactive in Operator Mode. *** # 3. Animation (Takes) ## Definition Animation (Takes) controls playback behavior of animated 3D models. Animation settings are configured entirely in Author Mode. *** ## Configuration in Author Mode Authors can configure: * Animation enabled or disabled * Selected Take (if multiple exist) * Playback mode: * Loop * Once * Ping Pong * Direction * Playback speed (e.g., 0.5x, 1x, 2x, etc.) These settings are stored with the model configuration for that step. *** ## Behavior in Operator Mode In Operator Mode: * The animation plays automatically according to the defined configuration. * Playback mode, direction, and speed are fixed. * The operator cannot: * Change the animation take * Modify playback mode * Adjust speed * Pause or resume animation (unless otherwise configured; not shown in UI) If animation was disabled in Author Mode: * The model remains static. *** ## Step-Level Behavior Animation is evaluated per model, per step. When navigating between steps: * Only animations attached to the active step are active. * Models in other steps are not visible. * Animation configuration persists exactly as authored.
