Microsoft Maquette Update 2019.2.0.0 Released

Released April 3, 2019

Surface Snapping

Content can be snapped to surfaces in the scene using the surface snapping button, which appears on the controller when holding an object close to another object's surface.
While an object is snapped, it can be rotated along the surface by holding the rotation button.
Holding the surface snapping button locks the snapping plane.
Content snapped onto a surface will stay snapped the next time it's picked up, so long as the surface below it is still in position.

Teleportation

Holding the grip button in empty space enables locomotion controls. A teleport ray appears, and viewpoints become visible as target destinations.
With the grip button held, press the trigger to teleport to the target destination.
Teleporting resets your scale to 1:1. This can be disabled in the * Locomotion tab of the Settings menu.
While holding the grip button, Left & right on the joystick or touchpad rotates your view in 45° increments, and up & down locomote you forward & backward.

Uses of the Orientation Tool

While holding a piece of content with Rotation Snapping on, use the Orientation Tool to align Rotation Snapping to a targeted piece of content.

How to use the Orientation Tool

The Orientation Tool appears on your dominant hand when moving content with Rotation Snapping on. Hover on it with your other hand and use the grip button to pick it up.
