The Radial Menu provides an interface that enables the user to quickly reach all functions of VR Mode, including the Modes Panels, Asset Editors, Simulate and Play in VR, consolidating the functionality of the old Radial Menu and the Quick Menu into one intuitive user interface. In the following page, you will find a detailed reference for what each option on the radial menu performs.

Editor Windows

Editor windows are no longer docked to the Controller when opened. Instead, they open slightly offset from the left controller. The Close button is now nested beside the interaction bar underneath each window. When opening a window, if you keep the trigger depressed, you will see a preview of where the window will be placed.

Context- Sensitive Option

A context-sensitive option has been added to the Radial Main Menu. This menu option offers quick access to additional features available within different tools.

Radial Menu Options

Below you will find a breakdown for what each option in the radial menu performs when used in the UE4 editor.
