Overview
This article describes how you can implement Motive’s premade Attachable components in order to make two objects interact with one another in a VR scene. One object will be able to be grabbed and then subsequently placed on the receiver object. This tutorial will also include information on how to use this functionality in combination with Storyflow.
Important: Any object that will be used as part of a training procedure authored in Storyflow must be a Motive Scene Object.
