Actions Overview

A reference for all actions available in the Mimeeq configurator — camera, scene, mesh, materials, options, UI, and dimension controls.

Actions are operations that run when a rule's trigger fires. Each action performs a specific task — modifying the 3D view, showing or hiding meshes, changing materials, opening groups, or controlling UI elements. Actions can be combined on a single rule to create complex behaviours.

New to rules? Read Rules Overview first to understand how triggers and actions work together.

Action conditions and execution settings

Each action can be customised with conditions that control when and how it runs.

Device scope

Scope	Description
All devices	Runs on all device types (default)
Desktop only	Runs only when viewed on desktop
Mobile only	Runs only when viewed on mobile
AR only	Runs only when viewed in AR mode

Execution timing

Timing	Description
Always	Runs whenever trigger conditions are met (default)
On load	Runs once when the configurator first loads
After load	Runs after the initial loading process completes

Example use cases:

• On load — set an initial camera angle, open a specific group, or start auto-rotation

• After load — run secondary actions after initial load actions to prevent conflicts

• Always — apply actions continuously whenever trigger conditions are met

Execution delay

The Delay time (ms) setting introduces a delay in milliseconds before an action runs.

• Start an animation 500ms after a configuration change

• Create a sequence of actions by setting different delays on each

• Allow the scene to stabilise before applying further changes

Execution count

The Run number of times setting controls how many times an action can execute.

• Show an introductory animation or message only once

• Limit how many times a particular effect occurs

• Create a finite sequence of automated actions

Best practices

• Use device scope to tailor the experience per platform.

• Use timing controls to create smooth, sequenced interactions.

• Test your configurator on all target devices after setting conditions.
