# Adding IFX

1. Open your menu or tablet, and then select **IFX** <img src="https://3460182399-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FwVx6bvwqEE7tD0TYOcfj%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-acd401db52e0b3a6ddc8d2df9783fc99c7dcef65%2Fmenu_i_ifx.png?alt=media" alt="" data-size="line">.
2. Browse through the available IFX. You can search for IFX by their title and apply tag filters.
3. Select an IFX.
4. Move your mouse or right controller to position the IFX, and then left click or press the right trigger to place the IFX in the scene.

After you add an IFX, it becomes an object. For information about how you can modify an IFX, see [Modifying objects](/engage/advanced-features/modifying-objects.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
You can make fine adjustments to position, rotation, and scale after you add an IFX to the scene. However, you can also use the following controls to place the IFX more accurately when you first add it.
{% endhint %}

![Controls when you use hand controllers to add an IFX to your scene](https://3460182399-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FwVx6bvwqEE7tD0TYOcfj%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-1a774a9b0f6921e2380f49e26cc92aa157cdf81d%2Fadd_ifx_controls_controller_c.png?alt=media)

Hand controllers:

* Hold the trigger on the left controller and rotate the left controller to rotate the object.
* Move the right thumbstick up and down to move the object further away and closer.
* Move the right thumbstick left and right to change the scale of the object.

Mouse:

* Rotate the scroll wheel forwards to move the object further away and backwards to move it closer.
* Hold the right mouse button and move the mouse to rotate the object.
* Hold the right mouse button and use the scroll wheel to adjust the scale of the object.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.engagevr.io/engage/advanced-features/using-ifx/adding-ifx.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
