New QuickEdit UI Toolkit Interface

QuickEdit overlay with modern UI Toolkit design and enhanced component organization

## Key Features ### Component Categories The new QuickEdit interface organizes components into logical groups: * **Positioning Tools**: Local, Global, Pivot controls with X-, Y+, Z+ axis buttons * **Ground Operations**: "To Ground", "Pivot to B...", "Align Y Up" * **Object Management**: "Empty" and "To Empty" for GameObject creation * **Core Components**: Transport Surface, Sensor, Axis, Kit * **Interaction**: Grip, Fixer, Joint * **Motion Systems**: Simple Drive, Cylinder, Gear, CAM, Follow Position, Destination Drive, Drive Erratic, Drive Speed ### Enhanced Controls * **Pivot Integration**: Direct access to pivot manipulation tools * **Speed Control**: Target Speed slider with precise value input * **Playback Controls**: Back, Stop, Forward buttons for simulation control * **Context-Sensitive**: Available functions adapt to selected object(s) ## How to Use ### Activation Methods **Method 1: Toolbar Button (New in 6.0.3)** The QuickEdit overlay can now be activated via the new realvirtual toolbar in the Scene View:

### Control Settings * **Back (◀)**: Sets the drive to jog backward when Play Mode starts * **Stop (■)**: Sets the drive to stop/idle state for Play Mode * **Forward (▶)**: Sets the drive to jog forward when Play Mode starts ### Speed Configuration * **Target Speed**: Sets the target speed value for the selected drive (shown as "100" in mm/s) * **Pre-Play Configuration**: Speed setting is applied to the drive component for use in Play Mode * **Units**: Speed configured in millimeters per second (mm/s) ### Usage for Play Mode Preparation 1. **Select Drive**: Click on a Drive component in the Scene View or Hierarchy 2. **Set Speed**: Configure the Target Speed value for Play Mode operation 3. **Set Direction**: Choose Back, Stop, or Forward for initial Play Mode behavior 4. **Enter Play Mode**: The drive will use the configured settings when simulation starts This feature is particularly useful for: * **Play Mode Setup**: Configure drive behavior before entering Play Mode * **Speed Configuration**: Set target speeds for automation sequences * **Initial State Setting**: Define whether drives should jog forward, backward, or remain stopped * **Simulation Preparation**: Prepare drive parameters for testing automation logic ## QuickEdit in Play Mode During Play Mode, QuickEdit transforms into a powerful real-time control and monitoring interface, allowing you to interact with drives and control simulation parameters while the automation is running:

### Simulation Controls
Simulation Speed Controls

#### Timescale Control * **Timescale Slider**: Adjust simulation speed from slow motion to accelerated time (shown: 368.8) * **Current Value Display**: Shows current timescale multiplier in real-time * **Slider Range**: From 0.1 (slow motion) to max (very fast simulation) * **Real-time Adjustment**: Changes apply immediately to entire simulation speed #### Drive Speed Override * **Global Speed Control**: Override all drive speeds with a master multiplier (shown: 1.0) * **Independent Control**: Separate from timescale - affects only drive movements * **Slider Range**: From 0 (stopped) to max speed multiplier * **Testing Feature**: Ideal for testing automation sequences at different drive speeds ### Active Drive Monitoring #### Drive Selection and Control * **Drive List**: Shows currently selected or active drives in the scene * **Real-time Status**: Displays current drive positions and states * **Position Display**: Shows exact drive positions (e.g., "A3: 205.8°") * **Live Updates**: Values update continuously during simulation #### Manual Drive Control * **Back (◀)**: Manually jog selected drive backward during simulation * **Stop (■)**: Stop selected drive immediately * **Forward (▶)**: Manually jog selected drive forward during simulation * **Override Automation**: Manual controls can override automated sequences ### Real-time Features #### Visual Feedback * **Active Drives**: Highlighted drives show which components are currently moving * **Position Indicators**: Real-time position values displayed for monitoring * **Status Colors**: Visual indicators show drive states (moving, stopped, etc.) #### Interactive Control * **Live Adjustment**: All controls respond immediately during simulation * **No Pause Required**: Adjust parameters without stopping the simulation * **Multi-drive Support**: Monitor and control multiple drives simultaneously ### Use Cases in Play Mode * **Speed Testing**: Adjust timescale to observe automation at different speeds * **Drive Override**: Take manual control of drives during automated sequences * **Performance Tuning**: Test different speed settings in real-time * **Debugging**: Stop specific drives to isolate issues during simulation * **Training**: Demonstrate system behavior at various speeds * **System Optimization**: Fine-tune drive speeds and timing while observing results ### Key Differences from Edit Mode | Feature | Edit Mode | Play Mode | | -------------------- | ----------------------- | ---------------------------------- | | **Drive Controls** | Set initial parameters | Real-time drive control | | **Speed Settings** | Configure for Play Mode | Active speed override | | **Timescale** | Not available | Real-time simulation speed control | | **Position Display** | Static values | Live updating positions | | **Purpose** | Preparation and setup | Active simulation control | ## Configuration ### Aligning Pivot Points To align pivot points, you can use the Pivot button. This window will open the Move Pivot window. For more information check the page [Move Pivot.](/basics/user-interface/move-pivot-points-pro.md) ### Changing Quickedit Visibility You can toggle the visibility of the Quickedit window on/off using the Hotkey F1. If you wish to change the hotkey, you can do so within the realvirtual.io controller inside the scene. ![](/files/3LuluRtJIrz3YUQDxmLT) ## Prerequisites * Unity 6000.0.28f1 (Unity 6) or later with realvirtual framework * Scene must contain a realvirtual.io controller component * Basic familiarity with Unity Scene View interface ## Troubleshooting * **QuickEdit not appearing**: Ensure F1 hotkey is enabled in the realvirtual.io controller settings * **Toolbar buttons missing**: Verify Unity 6+ installation and proper realvirtual framework setup * **Drive controls unresponsive**: Check that drive components are properly configured and selected * **Outdated interface**: Ensure you're using realvirtual version 6.0.3 or later for the new UI Toolkit design ## See Also * [Move Pivot Points (Pro)](/basics/user-interface/move-pivot-points-pro.md) - Advanced pivot manipulation tools * [Reparenting Tool (Pro)](https://github.com/game4automation/doc/blob/doc/basics/user-interface/reparenting-tool-pro.md) - Hierarchy management * [Runtime UI](/basics/runtime-ui.md) - Play Mode interface controls --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
