Secondary menus

Object and materials drawers

The left and the right side of the menu house drawers for loading geometry and materials.  You can open this drawer by clicking on the tab icons on the left and right side of the menu if the create and/or paint/sketch tools are selected. Menu drawers are modular and can be detached from the menu and placed around you if desired for working (hover over the drawer and keep the trigger pressed while pulling it away).

The two drawers contain props and materials that have been categorized using tabs. The props and materials can be selected by clicking or can be dragged into your favorites in the center of your circular menu by keeping the trigger pressed and moving it to a favorite slot. The last tab shows any custom-imported 3D models and images that you've loaded using the Arkio cloud or locally
