Adding a Custom Interface to the Scene

Once you have created your custom interface, you can display it from the scene interface. The steps are as follows:

Place the files in a common directory and store the directory in the same folder as your A3S scene file. Be sure to include all images, style sheets and JavaScript files used in the interface.
Open the scene in Showcase.
Select File > Scene Settings. The Scene Settings window appears.
Under Interface Style, check the Use custom user interface box. The Select a Custom UI File window appears.
Type in the URL or path of the custom user interface you want to use, or click the Browse button to browse to it.
In the Scene Settings window, click one of the Position radio buttons to choose where to locate the custom user interface on the screen (left side, right side, top or bottom).

Toggling the Display and Changing Position of a Custom UI

Toggling the display of your custom UI is done via Present > Browser Panel.

To modify the position of the customized scene interface select File > Scene Settings. Under Interface Style, select one of the Position options to place the interface to the left, right, top, or bottom of the main window.
