Playing Your Experience

You can play the whole experience to view the final work.

During a playing session, most of the commands are deactivated.

In 3DEXPERIENCE - R2021x FD01 (FP.2024) and later, if you switch to another tab while playing the experience, the experience stops playing.

  1. From the Compass, press Play to run the experience.
  2. Optional: In the action bar, press Pause to pause your experience.

    Note: Do not forget to stop your experience before saving or editing.

  3. In the Storytelling section of the action bar, click Play Console to view errors, warnings or other information.

    Tips: In the authoring mode, navigation is always based on standard manipulation.

    In the playing mode, whenever you add a camera to your experience, the following changes happen:

    • the camera becomes active
    • the standard manipulation becomes unavailable.

    For debug purposes, you can select the Force Viewpoint option in Me > Preferences to ignore experience cameras and keep using the standard manipulation. For more information, see Customizing Preferences.
