Grabbing an Object

By activating the grab mode, you can automatically grab an object in the 3D area. When a hand is in contact with an object, fingers automatically close around the object.

This feature is useful when you want to quickly define the hand's posture.

For example, a human can grab a tool.

Before you begin: From the Human section of the action bar, click Edit Human to open the panel.
