Outlined below is an example of how to attach a new Asset to an existing Asset.
- Display some Assets in the Asset Window
- Select "Connect" mode by either:
- Using a keyboard shortcut, see Assigning Keyboard Shortcuts for more information.
- Move the mouse cursor over the Asset to which the new Asset will be attached. The existing Assets Connection Points will be displayed. Pressing and holding the SHIFT key will display all the existing Assets Connection Points.
Moving the mouse over an Asset shows the Connection Point closest to the cursor
Holding the SHIFT key while over an Asset shows all the Connection Points for that Asset
- Once the desired Connection Point is highlighted left click the mouse to see a menu containing all the Assets that can be attached.
NOTE: If there is only one Asset that can be connected then no menu will be displayed and the new Asset will just be attached instantly.
- Choose an Asset, e.g. "Elbow", and it will be attached at the chosen Connection Point and added to the Asset Explorer under the same parent as the Asset to which it was attached.

- Many Assets that can be attached in more than one way. For example, the Elbow that has been attached in this example has four different orientations; left, right, up and down. Pressing the SPACEBAR cycles through all the available options.
The SPACEBAR can be used to cycle through the four different orientations available when attaching an Elbow.
