Authoring for Moving Users to the Next Focus Area

Replying to a question here about an Author Friendly method to get users to move locations around a large piece of equipment.

Set up

First create an Empty Object in the center of your 3D Asset. This will serve as a pivot point for the camera, which it will rotate around.

Next, create a Camera then make it a child of the Empty Object. The camera should be positioned at the object with a similar view to where the user is starting.

Then, using the Timeline Editor record an animation of the Empty Object (EO) rotating. Since the Camera is a child of the EO it will also turn, giving you a method to move users to the next focus area.

Finally, set the Camera as an inset by first going to the UI Editor, select the Content template, and use the correct Camera from the Step Hierarchy.
