Customize your Place.

Start with Controls

Open Controls in the Locus bar when you want an immediate on-or-off change. The available buttons depend on the Room and View.

Controls and Quick Settings change the same working values. Use Controls for speed; open Quick Settings when you want sliders, separate View and Room tabs, or save and reset actions.

Customize the View

Open Quick Settings, then choose the View tab. Adjust one control at a time while looking at both the panorama and the Room.

• Sky brightness changes how bright the panorama itself looks.
• Ambient light changes how strongly the View lights the Room without changing the sky image.
• Contrast separates light and dark areas in the View.
• Color raises or lowers the View's color intensity.
• Turn view rotates the panorama around you. Use it to place the main subject in front of your seat or align a horizon feature with the Room.
• Add Sunlight adds directional light. When it is on, set its position, temperature, and strength to match the light visible in the panorama.
• Hide Room shows only the View for the current Virtual Space session.

Example: turn an overcast View and add light

This pair uses the same Atrium Loft seat and the same Snowbound Forest Paths View. The second image applies Turn view +35° and switches on Add Sunlight.

Before

After

Look for two separate changes: Turn view moves the path toward the left side of the Room; Add Sunlight brightens the 3D floor. It does not redraw the overcast panorama.

Customize the Room

Choose the Room tab in Quick Settings when the selected Room offers visitor-controlled lights or motion.

1. Switch on Room Lights. This is the same switch shown in Controls.
2. Adjust All lights. Brighten or dim the Room's supported lights together.
3. Tune individual light groups. A Room may offer brightness, warmth, or full color for some fixtures. Locus shows only the controls that Room supports.
4. Adjust supported ambient motion. Experimental Rooms can offer an animation switch, speed, and replay interval.

If the light switch is off, brightness and color changes remain ready and appear when you switch the lights back on.

Save or undo changes

Quick Settings changes begin as a temporary working copy. Use the actions at the bottom of the active tab to decide what happens next.

• Revert Changes returns the active tab to your saved settings.
• More → Try Original Settings previews the creator's published settings without saving them.
• Save for This View… makes the current View settings that View's default in every Room and experience on this device.
• Save for This Room… keeps supported Room light and motion settings for that Room on this device.

For a larger preview before saving a View, open Places, open the View's menu, then choose Edit View. It works with the same saved View appearance.

Organize Places

• Rename an imported View when its filename is not useful. Built-in Views keep their published names.
• Mark a Room or View as a Favorite to bring it forward with Favorites First.
• Add tags such as Work, Night, Nature, or Shared.
• Search and filter by name, Favorites, Imported, resolution, or tag.
• Sort by Title, Recently Added, or Favorites First.

Names, favorites, and tags organize the library. They do not change the imported panorama or Room files.
