The inventory tab of the dash

The inventory is a tab on the Dash Menu. It allows you to save and browse objects—such as tools, avatars, decorations, and more. The inventory can also manage your favorites, such as your default avatar and your home world.

At a glance

The inventory is a lot like a computer filesystem. Items can be organized into folders, and folders can contain other folders.

Tip: Organize your items! Instead of saving items to the root of your inventory, make folders and save there. Reorganizing the inventory is difficult at the moment.

To spawn an item or enter a folder, double-click it. Single-clicking will select the item, allowing you to perform various operations on it.

Saving Items

While exploring Resonite, you might find an item that you like, and would like to save. Currently, there are two ways of saving items:

Using the Context Menu

  1. Navigate to a folder that you would like to save the item to.
  2. Hold the item (with your laser or with your hand), and open the context menu.
  3. Click on Save to Inventory.

Success! You can now find the item in your inventory.

Using the Dash Menu

  1. Navigate to a folder that you would like to save the item to.
  2. Hold the item (with your laser or with your hand), and open the dash menu.
  3. In the inventory tab, click on Save Held.

Success! You can now find the item in your inventory.

Storage

All accounts start with 1 gigabyte (GB) of storage space on the cloud. Your storage space can be increased by subscribing.

Some things to note about storage allocation and functionality:

  • Duplicates of a saved item will only increment the necessary storage amount needed for the updated parts on a saved item. (Ex: Adding a hat to an avatar will only save the additional storage for that hat's data.)
  • The "Resonite Essentials" folder that is available on all accounts does not contribute to your active storage usage.
  • Shared folders from other community members will allow you to access the contents without contributing to your own storage allocation. Keep in mind, if a public folder shared by a user is unshared, it will no longer allow access to the content within.

The Resonite Essentials Folder

The Resonite Essentials folder

The Resonite Essentials public folder is maintained by the Resonite Team. It has folders for things like assets (3D models, textures, materials, and the Dawn modular building set), avatars, facets, tools, and more.

This folder is automatically added to every Resonite account. It does not contribute to your overall storage accumulation.

Resonite Tools

The Tools folder under Resonite Essentials

These are some of the default tools you will need, want, or use when your trying to interact or build things within Resonite. There is a separate page on Tools for further information.

You may come across other community-made tools while exploring Resonite—these are made by various groups or individuals in the community, and are not officially supported by the Resonite Team.

Limitations

Currently, you are unable to move items between folders; you can achieve this by spawning an item and saving it again in the new folder, then deleting it from the old.
