Sandbox Tips & Tricks

Below is a list of some tips & tricks when building stuff in the Apparatus sandbox.

Rotating objects and snapping to fixed angles

Fixed angles is an important feature. To accomplish this, follow these simple steps:

• Hold down one finger on the rotate icon and start rotating the object
• Press down a second finger somewhere on the screen without releasing the first one
• Continue rotating with the first finger and you will see that it snaps to fixed angles

Snap objects to grid

This feature is similar to the rotating snapping, follow these steps:

• Hold down one finger on the object to move it
• Press down a second finger somewhere on the screen without releasing the first one
• Move the object with your first finger, it will snap to a hidden grid

Using the red wheel/cylinder

The red cylinder/wheel is an interactive object that you can actually move with your finger even after pressing play. This object can be used to create interactive constructions such as doors and triggers.
