Hey everybody! It’s UnderMyCap, and welcome back to another video. Today, I’m going to be showing you how to use the select tool in Rec Room. This is part two of our ongoing series. If you’re new here, start at the beginning with the create tool tutorial; the first video is linked in our playlist. But without further ado, let’s dive right in. You might notice a bit of chaos behind me. It seems like Valentine’s Day left me with quite a scene—boxes filled with love hearts hovering in the air. Something’s off since, you know, gravity’s a thing and all! These boxes should be grounded, but some even sunk underground. Time to wield the mighty select tool to sort this out. First things first—whip out your Maker Pen and locate the select tool. Clicking on it reveals options: select tool functions, select tool settings, and the snapping option, though we’ll circle back to snapping a bit later. Once your select tool is active, let’s start selecting objects. I need to shift this menu aside for a clearer view. Those flying shapes are our boxes, and we need to set them on the ground. Use your mouse or VR controller to click on them, thus selecting them. Then, switch to the move tool—typically the green button we’ve got lined up for our next video—and reposition the boxes vertically as needed. Note that some smaller or concealed objects within the boxes might not get selected immediately. Thankfully, the select tool allows us to snag multiple items at once or even deselect items as necessary. Having moved the boxes to ground level, the primary job is done, though those hearts still defy gravity by floating around. To capture the hearts, we first need to free the boxes from our selection. Done by either clicking off into nowhere or a double-click on a chosen item with your mouse or controller, this will clear the slate. To gather hearts, hold the trigger or click until it activates and swipes through to select several objects simultaneously. I might have clumsily selected the floor, which isn’t our target, but don’t sweat it. Simply aim the trigger at the unneeded selection and dismiss it with a click. Easy, right? If you see a yellow ball while selecting, that’s the deselection mode indicator. Holding down on the chosen item initiates this mode, featuring a red bubble. This bubble deselects any object it grazes. Retain our cherished pink heart selection by holding and grabbing them anew. If the red bubble is too big for precise selecting, adjust the settings. Navigate to the select tool settings where you can tweak the drag select size. The “analog” setting is broad, and “precise” grants a minute circle for accuracy. Setting it to small, the circle’s visibility is minimal, spot-on for selecting those dainty hearts. With these settings, grabbing multiple objects becomes a breeze, letting you move them en masse efficiently—an upgrade from inching each one individually using the move tool. For instance, grabbing multiple poles or assorted objects to move them collectively ensures they maintain consistent height or alignment, saving you precious time. Did you find this tutorial useful? A like goes a long way! Don’t forget to hit the subscribe button for part three, where we’ll cover advanced Maker Pen techniques. You’re invited to join my Maker Space events any time to learn more about creating within the game. Thank you for tuning in, and I’m eagerly looking forward to sharing more in the next video! Until then, see you!Getting Started with the Select Tool

Okay, hey everybody! It’s UnderMyCap, and welcome back to another video. Today, I’m going to be showing you how to use the select tool. This is part two of the series. If you haven’t seen how to use the create tool, I highly recommend starting from the beginning. The first video is linked in the playlist right down below. But without further ado, let’s get straight into this. You can see I have a bit of a mess behind me. It was recently Valentine’s Day—well, it was a very long time ago—but you can see I have a bunch of boxes filled with love hearts. I need to make sure I can align these boxes properly, and I want them on the floor. Currently, these boxes are floating in the air, which doesn’t make sense because gravity exists, and the boxes should be sitting on the ground. There’s also a box that’s underground. We’re going to use the select tool to select and move these objects. Let’s open up the Maker Pen and click on the select tool. When you click on it, a few options pop up. These include select tool functions, select tool settings, and the snapping option—something we’ll talk about later when we move objects around. Once you open the select tool and click on it, we can start selecting objects. I’ll move this menu aside so you can see better. You’ll notice two shapes in the air—whoops, I’ll get rid of that menu. These shapes are the boxes floating in the air, and we want to move them onto the ground. Using your mouse or the trigger on your VR controller, select the boxes by clicking on them. Then, use the move tool—usually the green button, which we’ll discuss in the next video—to move them. You can move objects up and down as needed. However, some of the objects inside the boxes weren’t selected because they’re smaller or hidden. The select tool allows us to select multiple items quickly and also deselect items if needed. Since the boxes are now on the ground, the main task is done, but the hearts are still floating in the air. To select the hearts, first, deselect the boxes. You can do this by clicking off into the distance or double-clicking on one of the selected objects with your controller or mouse. Double-clicking will deselect everything. Now, to select the hearts, hold down the trigger until the handle is pressed and move it around to select multiple objects at once. In this case, I accidentally selected the floor, which isn’t needed. We can fix that by deselecting it. Just point the trigger at the unwanted object and click to deselect it—easy! You may also notice a yellow ball that appears when selecting objects. Holding down on a selected item activates deselection mode—the red bubble. Anything this red bubble touches will be deselected from your current selection. So, to keep the pink hearts in your selection, hold down and grab them again to re-add them. Here’s a problem: the red bubble is a bit too big for precise selecting. To fix this, you can adjust the select tool settings. Open the select tool menu and scroll down to “select tool settings.” There, you can change the drag select size. The “analog” option is the largest, and “precise” is a tiny circle that makes selection very accurate. For now, I’ll set it to small. Now, when I start selecting, the circle is so tiny that it’s almost invisible—perfect for selecting individual objects like these hearts. Using the select tool this way allows us to grab multiple objects at once and move them together, saving time compared to moving each item individually with the move tool. For example, I can select several poles or multiple objects and move them uniformly so they remain at the same height or position. If you found this video helpful, please leave a like and subscribe. I will be uploading part three soon, which will cover more advanced uses of the Maker Pen. You’re also welcome to join my Maker Space events, where I teach people how to create in the game. Thanks for watching, and I can’t wait to see you in the next video! See you!
