[0039] Figure 1 is a flowchart illustrating a method for configuring a virtual object according to some embodiments. As shown in Figure 1 , embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for configuring a virtual object. This method can be performed by an electronic device, specifically, by a virtual object configuration device. This device can be implemented in software and / or hardware and configured in the electronic device. As shown in Figure 1 , this method can include the following steps.

[0040] In step 110 , a virtual scene is displayed.

[0041] Here, the virtual scene may be a three-dimensional virtual scene, such as a three-dimensional game scene, a virtual reality scene, etc. It should be understood that the virtual scene displayed by the electronic device may be a picture obtained by a virtual camera in the virtual scene.

[0042] Among them, the virtual camera refers to a technology that simulates the movement and perspective management of a real camera. It is responsible for determining the content and viewing angle of the player in the virtual scene. The virtual camera can dynamically adjust parameters such as the lens position, direction, focal length, and field of view to provide the best gaming visual experience. In other words, the virtual camera is a core component used to control the player's visual perception in game development. It greatly affects the game's visual narrative and gameplay experience. For example, if the user moves the virtual camera from the left to the right, it means that the user wants to look at the right side of the virtual scene, and the content presented is the content on the right side of the virtual scene.

[0043] In step 120 , an object setting area is determined in the virtual scene according to the locked range selected in the virtual scene and the first initial editing point.

[0044] Here, the locked range can be a range selected by the user in the virtual scene. The locked range can include an axis range and a plane range. That is, the locked range can be an axial range or a plane range in the virtual scene. It should be understood that the locked range means that the first virtual object will be fixed in the area corresponding to the locked range in the virtual scene for movement and drawing.

[0045] For example, a virtual scene can be constructed using a first coordinate axis, a second coordinate axis, and a third coordinate axis, where the first coordinate axis, the second coordinate axis, and the third coordinate axis can be the X-axis, the Y-axis, and the Z-axis, respectively. If the user selects the X-axis among the X-axis, the Y-axis, and the Z-axis through a locking operation, the X-axis is the locking range. In other words, the first virtual object will be fixed on the X-axis of the virtual scene for movement. If the user selects the X-axis and the Z-axis among the X-axis, the Y-axis, and the Z-axis through a locking operation, the plane enclosed by the X-axis and the Z-axis is the locking range. In other words, the first virtual object will be fixed on the plane enclosed by the X-axis and the Z-axis for movement and drawing.

[0046] The first initial editing point is a point selected by the user in the virtual scene. For example, when the user needs to set a virtual object at a certain point in the virtual space, the user can select a point in the virtual scene.

[0047] For example, the first initial editing point can be determined by the cursor point displayed on the screen. Since the locking range is a general range in the virtual space, it is impossible to determine a precise range. For example, when the user selects the X-axis as the locking range, countless X-axis locking ranges can be located in the virtual scene. When the user selects the plane surrounded by the X-axis and the Z-axis as the locking range, countless X-axis and Z-axis planes can be located in the virtual scene. Therefore, the object setting area can be determined in the virtual scene based on the locking range and the first initial editing point.

[0048] The object setting area refers to the range in which the first virtual object can be moved and drawn in the virtual space. That is, the first virtual object will be fixed in the area corresponding to the object setting area in the virtual scene for movement and drawing.

[0049] It is worth noting that a first initial edit point can be located in the virtual scene by pointing the cursor on the screen. Then, the first initial edit point, combined with the lock range, can determine a unique object setting area in the virtual scene. For example, the coordinates of the cursor point on the screen mapped to the first initial edit point are (5, 5, 5). If the user selects the X-axis as the lock range, then in the virtual scene, the X-axis passing through the first initial edit point with coordinates (5, 5, 5) is the object setting area. If the user selects the plane enclosed by the X-axis and the Z-axis as the lock range, then in the virtual scene, the plane including the first initial edit point with coordinates (5, 5, 5) and enclosed by the X-axis and the Z-axis is the object setting area.

[0050] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the electronic device can be a fixed terminal such as a digital TV or desktop computer, or a mobile terminal such as a virtual reality device, a mobile phone, or a tablet computer. Therefore, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the cursor point can refer to either the cursor point of a mouse or the touch point on a touch screen.

[0051] In step 130 , in response to a movement operation on a first virtual object in a virtual scene, the first virtual object is controlled to move within an object setting area.

[0052] Here, the virtual object can be a virtual object set in a virtual scene. It should be understood that the virtual object referred to in this disclosure can be a block or an object of any structure, such as stairs, fences, street lights, telephone poles, roads, trees, etc.

[0053] Exemplarily, the electronic device may display a first virtual object in the virtual scene in response to the scene building operation.

[0054] The scene-building operation can be a user-triggered operation for instructing the placement of virtual objects in a virtual scene. Through the scene-building operation, the user can enable the function of placing objects in the virtual scene. It should be noted that the scene-building operation can be triggered in various ways, which are not limited in this disclosure. For example, it can be triggered by a shortcut key or by clicking a specific function button.

[0055] Exemplarily, when the electronic device detects a scene building operation, it displays a first virtual object to be set in the virtual scene in response to the scene building operation. The first virtual object may be an object selected by the user to be set in the virtual scene. For example, when the user wants to build a house in the virtual scene, the user can select the first virtual object used to build the house through the scene building operation, thereby displaying the first virtual object to be set in the virtual scene.

[0056] It is worth noting that the first virtual object to be set has not yet been materialized in the virtual scene. It will only be materialized in the virtual scene after the user confirms the setting of the virtual object. Of course, the user can control the movement of the first virtual object in the virtual scene using a mouse or touch track, thereby setting the first virtual object at any position in the virtual scene.

[0057] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating a first virtual object according to some embodiments. As shown in Figure 2, in response to a scene construction operation, the electronic device displays a first virtual object 202 in a virtual scene 201, and a user can control the movement of the first virtual object 202 in the virtual scene by using a corresponding mouse cursor point 203.

[0058] The first virtual object is set to move following the cursor point. Accordingly, the cursor point can be moved by a moving operation, thereby controlling the first virtual object to move within the object setting area.

[0059] It should be understood that no matter which direction the user moves the cursor, the first virtual object will be locked within the object setting area and will not move outside the object setting area. In other words, even if the cursor point moves randomly on the screen, the first virtual object will be corrected to move within the object setting area, allowing the user to accurately locate the first virtual object in the three-dimensional virtual scene without the jitter of the cursor point causing the set first virtual object to shift.

[0060] For example, when the user needs to draw a straight line on the X-axis of the virtual scene, the user can select the X-axis as the locking range, and the object setting area is the X-axis of the first initial editing point corresponding to the cursor point in the virtual scene. Accordingly, since the first virtual object is locked on the object setting area for movement, even if the movement trajectory of the cursor point on the screen is not a straight line, a straight line can be drawn on the X-axis.

[0061] It is worth noting that, for different application scenarios, the user can move the cursor point in different ways, for example, by using a mouse or by touching a track on the screen.

[0062] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating an object setting area according to some embodiments. As shown in Figure 3 , a first virtual object 202 is displayed in a virtual scene 201. A user can control the movement of the first virtual object 202 within the object setting area 301 by using a cursor point 203. The object setting area 301 is constructed by a plane bounded by the X-axis and the Z-axis. It should be understood that the size of the object setting area 301 shown in Figure 3 is merely an example and does not necessarily mean that the size of the object setting area 301 must be the size shown in Figure 3 .

[0063] In step 140 , in response to the setting instruction, a first virtual object is set at a target editing point in the object setting area.

[0064] Here, the setting instruction may be a user-triggered instruction for instructing to set the first virtual object at a target edit point within the object setting area. The setting instruction may be triggered in different ways for different application scenarios. For example, if the cursor point is a mouse cursor point, the setting instruction may be triggered by clicking the mouse.

[0065] During the movement of the first virtual object, the user can trigger a setting instruction to determine to set the first virtual object at the target editing point corresponding to the object setting area, and then the electronic device physically draws a first virtual object at the target editing point.

[0066] The target editing point is the point on the object setting area to which the cursor is mapped when the setting instruction is triggered. It should be understood that since the first virtual object is confined within the object setting area, no matter how the cursor moves on the screen, the point on the virtual scene to which the cursor is mapped will be corrected to within the object setting area. For example, when the cursor moves on the screen, the cursor point on the screen is a two-dimensional coordinate. The cursor point can be first mapped to a three-dimensional virtual scene to obtain a second initial editing point of the cursor point in the virtual scene. Then, based on the object setting area, the second initial editing point can be corrected to within the range of the object setting area to obtain the three-dimensional coordinates of the target editing point, thereby setting the first object at the three-dimensional coordinates.

[0067] 3 , the user can control the movement of the first virtual object 202 in the object setting area 301 by using the cursor point 203 to set the virtual object at a desired location. The user can set the first virtual object 202 at any location in the object setting area 301 by triggering a setting instruction.

[0068] It is worth noting that during the movement of the first virtual object, if the user continuously triggers the setting command, multiple first virtual objects can be drawn continuously at multiple consecutive target editing points. In other words, a straight line consisting of the first virtual objects can be drawn in the virtual scene.

[0069] It should be noted that step 130 and step 140 can be performed simultaneously, or step 130 can be performed separately. In other words, the user can control the movement of the first virtual object within the object setting area through step 130 without setting the first virtual object in the virtual scene through step 140.

[0070] Therefore, by displaying a virtual scene, an object setting area is determined in the virtual scene according to the locking range and the first initial editing point selected in the virtual scene, wherein the locking range includes the axis range and the plane range, and in response to the movement operation of the first virtual object in the virtual scene, the first virtual object is controlled to move within the object setting area, and in response to the setting instruction, the first virtual object is set at the target editing point in the object setting area, which can efficiently and accurately locate any position in the virtual scene, thereby better assisting the user in building objects in the virtual scene, greatly improving the user's gaming experience, and the operation is simple and in line with the user's visual intuition.

[0071] In some feasible implementations, when the lock range is switched, the cursor point may be controlled to be displayed on the first virtual object to be set.

[0072] Here, switching the lock range can mean that the user switches the lock range to another lock range. For example, if the X-axis is the initial lock range and the user wants to draw on the Y-axis, the lock range needs to be switched from the X-axis to the Y-axis. For another example, if the X-axis is the initial lock range and the user wants to draw on the plane enclosed by the X-axis and the Z-axis, the lock range needs to be switched from the X-axis to the plane enclosed by the X-axis and the Z-axis.

[0073] It should be understood that since the first virtual object is confined to the object setting area corresponding to the lock range, when the lock range is switched, the object setting area will also change, and the first virtual object will need to be moved to the new object setting area accordingly. To ensure that the first virtual object can move with the cursor point, when the lock range is switched, the electronic device can control the cursor point to be displayed on the first virtual object to be set, so that the first virtual object and the cursor point can move together without offset, thereby making the setting of virtual objects in the virtual scene more in line with the user's visual intuition.

[0074] In some embodiments, the position of the first virtual object to be set may be kept unchanged, and the cursor point may be controlled to move to the center point of the first virtual object to be set.

[0075] When the lock range is switched, the electronic device moves the cursor point to the center point of the first virtual object. In other words, when the lock range is switched, the first virtual object to be set does not move, but the cursor point is moved to the center point of the first virtual object so that the cursor point and the first virtual object can continue to move with it.

[0076] For example, if the X-axis is the initial locked range, and the user wants to change the drawing to the plane bounded by the X-axis and the Z-axis, the locked range needs to be switched from the X-axis to the plane bounded by the X-axis and the Z-axis. In this case, the position of the first virtual object remains unchanged, and the cursor is then moved to the center point of the first virtual object to be set.

[0077] Based on this, by maintaining the position of the first virtual object to be set unchanged, and moving the cursor point so that the cursor point and the first virtual object can follow the movement, the first virtual object can be prevented from jumping in the virtual scene, thereby avoiding incorrect drawing of the virtual object in the virtual scene.

[0078] In some other embodiments, when the lock range is switched, the position of the cursor point can be kept unchanged, and the first virtual object can be controlled to move to the position of the cursor point.

[0079] In other embodiments, when switching the lock range, if the position of the cursor point does not change, the position of the first virtual object is kept unchanged; if the position of the cursor point changes, the first virtual object is controlled to move to the position of the cursor point.

[0080] Therefore, through the above implementation, the first virtual object can be made to move along with the cursor point, which is more visually in line with the user's intuition and can greatly improve the user experience.

[0081] In some feasible implementations, an object setting area may also be displayed in the virtual scene.

[0082] Here, as shown in FIG3 , the object setting area 301 is constructed by a plane bounded by the X-axis and the Z-axis, and the object setting area 301 can be displayed in the virtual scene 201. It should be understood that the object setting area 301 can be displayed in the virtual scene 201 using a specific color, or can be displayed in other ways, such as shading or wireframe.

[0083] Therefore, by displaying the object setting area in the virtual scene, the user can intuitively understand the object setting area, thereby assisting the user to better perform object setting in the virtual scene.

[0084] In some feasible implementations, a first initial editing point may be determined based on a cursor point displayed on the screen, wherein the first initial editing point is a position where the cursor point is mapped in the virtual scene.

[0085] Here, as in the above embodiment, the first initial edit point is the position of the cursor point displayed on the screen mapped in the virtual scene. It should be understood that the first initial edit point actually refers to the position in the virtual scene pointed to by the user's cursor point. For example, assuming the cursor point is the mouse cursor point, the first initial edit point refers to the position in the virtual scene selected by the user with the mouse cursor point.

[0086] FIG4 is a flow chart illustrating a method for determining a first initial edit point according to some embodiments. As shown in FIG4 , in some achievable implementations, the first initial edit point may be determined by the following steps:

[0087] In step 401 , a first ray is determined in the virtual scene according to a virtual camera and a cursor point in the virtual scene.

[0088] Here, the three-dimensional coordinates of the virtual camera in the virtual scene can be determined, and then a first ray including the position of the virtual camera and the position of the cursor point can be constructed in the virtual scene based on the three-dimensional coordinates of the virtual camera and the two-dimensional coordinates of the cursor point on the screen.

[0089] In step 402, a first initial editing point is determined according to an intersection point between the first ray and a second virtual object in the virtual scene.

[0090] Here, based on the first ray, an intersection point between the first ray and the second virtual object in the virtual scene is obtained, and the intersection point between the first ray and the second virtual object in the virtual scene is determined as the first initial editing point.

[0091] It is worth noting that the second virtual object in the virtual scene can be a virtual object set by the user in the virtual scene, or can be an object in the virtual scene itself. For example, the second virtual object can be the ground in the virtual scene.

[0092] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating a first initial edit point according to some embodiments. As shown in Figure 5 , based on the position of a virtual camera 501 and a cursor point 502, a first ray 503 is constructed that passes through the virtual camera 501 and the cursor point 502. Then, based on the first ray 503 and the second virtual object in the virtual scene 202, the intersection point between the first ray 503 and the second virtual object in the virtual scene 202 is determined. This intersection point is then determined as the first initial edit point 504.

[0093] It is worth noting that since the virtual camera can determine the picture content and observation angle seen by the player in the virtual scene, determining the first initial editing point where the cursor point is mapped in the virtual scene through the virtual camera and the cursor point can truly reflect the position where the user wants to locate the cursor point in the virtual scene, thereby accurately locating the first initial editing point where the user wants to set the object in the virtual scene.

[0094] Therefore, through the above embodiment, the first initial editing point where the user wishes to set an object can be accurately located in the virtual scene.

[0095] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the locking range may be an axial range in the virtual scene or a plane range in the virtual scene. The locking range may be moved to the first initial editing point to obtain an object setting area.

[0096] For example, suppose the user selects the Z axis as the lock range among the X, Y, and Z axes through the lock operation. Since countless Z axes can be located in the virtual scene, in order to accurately locate the object setting area that the user actually needs, the Z axis can be moved to the position of the first initial edit point to obtain the object setting area. As shown in Figure 5, the object setting area 505 is actually a Z axis that passes through the first initial edit point 504.

[0097] For another example, if the user selects the X-axis and the Z-axis among the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis through the lock operation, the plane enclosed by the X-axis and the Z-axis will be the lock range. Since countless planes enclosed by the X-axis and the Z-axis can be located in the virtual scene, in order to accurately locate the object setting area that the user actually needs, the plane enclosed by the X-axis and the Z-axis can be moved to the location of the first initial edit point to obtain the object setting area. In other words, the object setting area is actually a plane enclosed by the X-axis and the Z-axis that includes the first initial edit point.

[0098] In some feasible implementations, when the locking range is an axis range, the object setting area is determined according to a first setting direction and a first initial editing point selected on the axis range.

[0099] The axis range may refer to one or more of the first, second, and third coordinate axes in the virtual scene. If the locked range is an axial range, it means that the user wishes to set a virtual object on the axis of the virtual scene.

[0100] The first setting direction can be determined by the orientation of the virtual camera. In other words, the first setting direction can be the orientation of the virtual camera. For example, assuming that the axis range is the X-axis, when the orientation of the virtual camera is biased to the right, the first setting direction is the positive direction of the X-axis. When the orientation of the virtual camera is biased to the left, the first setting direction is the negative direction of the X-axis. When the orientation of the virtual camera is not offset, the first setting direction is the positive direction and the negative direction of the X-axis.

[0101] That is to say, the first set direction on the axis range refers to the direction in which the orientation of the virtual scene is mapped on the axis range.

[0102] For example, the axis range selected by the user can be moved to the location of the first initial editing point to obtain a new axis range, and then the axis range in the first setting direction on the new axis range that matches the orientation of the virtual camera is determined as the object setting area.

[0103] As shown in FIG5 , assuming that the first setting direction within the axis range is the positive Z-axis direction, the object setting area 505 is the Z-axis range corresponding to the positive Z-axis direction passing through the first initial edit point 504. It should be understood that in this case, the first virtual object 202 is restricted to movement and drawing within the Z-axis range corresponding to the positive Z-axis direction passing through the first initial edit point 504.

[0104] In some feasible implementations, when the locked range is a plane range, the object setting area is determined according to the second setting direction selected on the plane range and the first initial editing point.

[0105] The concepts of the second setting direction and the first setting direction are the same, and reference may be made to the relevant description of the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0106] For example, the plane range selected by the user can be moved to the location of the first initial editing point to obtain a new plane range, and then the plane range in the second setting direction on the new plane range that matches the orientation of the virtual camera is determined as the object setting area.

[0107] Figure 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating an object setting area according to some embodiments. As shown in Figure 6, assuming that the second setting direction in the plane range is the positive direction of the plane bounded by the X-axis and the Z-axis, the object setting area 601 is the range corresponding to the positive direction of the plane bounded by the X-axis and the Z-axis that passes through the first initial edit point.

[0108] Therefore, through the above implementation, the first initial editing point pointed by the cursor point can be accurately located in the three-dimensional virtual scene, and then combined with the locking range selected by the user, the object setting area actually required by the user can be accurately and efficiently determined in the three-dimensional virtual scene, thereby ensuring that the user can accurately set objects in the three-dimensional virtual scene, greatly improving the efficiency of the user in setting objects in the virtual scene.

[0109] FIG7 is a detailed flow chart of step 140 shown in FIG1. ​​As shown in FIG7, in some possible implementations, step 140 may include the following steps:

[0110] In step 141 , a second initial editing point position where the cursor point is mapped in the virtual scene is determined according to the cursor point when the setting instruction is triggered.

[0111] Here, the setting instruction can be a user-triggered instruction for setting the first virtual object at a target edit point within the object setting area. The second initial edit point is the point in the object setting area to which the cursor point is mapped when the setting instruction is triggered. It should be noted that the cursor point is used to control the movement of the first virtual object.

[0112] It should be understood that, regarding how to determine the second initial editing point in the virtual scene, the relevant description of determining the first initial editing point in the above embodiment can be referred to, and will not be repeated here.

[0113] In step 142 , a second ray is determined in the virtual scene according to the virtual camera and the cursor point in the virtual scene.

[0114] Here, the concept of the second ray is consistent with that of the first ray, and reference may be made to the relevant description of the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0115] In step 143, the second coordinate corresponding to the second initial edit point is corrected according to the first coordinate corresponding to the intersection point between the second ray and the target plane corresponding to the object setting area to obtain the target edit point.

[0116] Here, for different object setting areas, the corresponding target planes may be different. For example, the target plane corresponding to the object setting area corresponding to the axis range is different from the target plane corresponding to the plane range.

[0117] In some embodiments, when the locked range is the axis range, a unit vector is constructed based on the first setting direction and the second initial editing point selected on the axis range, and the target plane corresponding to the axis range is determined based on the unit vector and the plane where the virtual camera is located in the virtual scene.

[0118] Detailed descriptions of the first set direction and the second initial edit point can be found in the description of the aforementioned embodiment. A unit vector is constructed with the second initial edit point as its origin and the first set direction as its direction. The virtual camera's plane is then moved onto the unit vector to obtain a plane P containing the unit vector. This plane is then referred to as the target plane.

[0119] It is worth noting that by determining the target plane by the plane where the virtual camera is located in the virtual scene, the target plane that meets the user's visual requirements can be located in the virtual scene when the locking range is the axial range.

[0120] In other embodiments, when the locked range is a plane range, the object setting area corresponding to the plane range is the target plane.

[0121] The intersection of the second ray and the target plane yields the first coordinates of the cursor point actually mapped onto the object setting area. Based on the first coordinates, the second coordinates corresponding to the second initial edit point are corrected to yield the target edit point actually mapped onto the object setting area.

[0122] It should be understood that modifying the second coordinates corresponding to the second initial edit point based on the first coordinates may be modifying the coordinate point corresponding to the object setting area on the second initial edit point to the value corresponding to the intersection. For example, assuming the lock range is the Y axis, the second coordinates of the second initial edit point are (3, 2, 255), and the first coordinates corresponding to the intersection are (2, 2, 255), then the target edit point is (2, 2, 255), so that the target edit point can be locked on the Y axis.

[0123] It should be understood that since the second initial edit point actually refers to the position in the virtual scene pointed to by the user's cursor, by correcting the second coordinate corresponding to the second initial edit point using the first coordinate corresponding to the intersection of the second ray and the target plane corresponding to the object setting area, the range of the user's object setting can be locked within the object setting area, thereby ensuring that the user can set objects within a specific range in the virtual space without setting virtual objects at the wrong location due to cursor jitter.

[0124] In step 144 , a first virtual object is set at the target editing point.

[0125] Here, the electronic device may physically draw a first virtual object at the target editing point, thereby setting the first virtual object at the target editing point.

[0126] Therefore, through the above steps 141 to 144, it is possible to efficiently and accurately locate any position in the virtual scene, thereby better assisting the user in building objects in the virtual scene, greatly improving the user's gaming experience.

[0127] Fig. 8 is a flow chart showing how to determine a locking range according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in Fig. 8 , the locking range may be determined by the following steps.

[0128] In step 810 , at least one selected coordinate axis is determined, where the coordinate axes include a first coordinate axis, a second coordinate axis, and a third coordinate axis for constructing a virtual scene.

[0129] Here, the at least one coordinate axis selected by the user may be one or more coordinate axes among a first coordinate axis, a second coordinate axis, and a third coordinate axis in the virtual scene.

[0130] In some embodiments, at least one coordinate axis may be determined based on a pressing operation on at least one of a first button corresponding to the first coordinate axis, a second button corresponding to the second coordinate axis, and a third button corresponding to the third coordinate axis.

[0131] The first button is a shortcut key corresponding to the first coordinate axis, the second button is a shortcut key corresponding to the first coordinate axis, and the third button is a shortcut key corresponding to the first coordinate axis. It should be understood that the first button, the second button, and the third button can be physical buttons or virtual buttons.

[0132] When the electronic device detects a pressing operation on at least one of the first button, the second button, and the third button, the electronic device determines the coordinate axis corresponding to the button corresponding to the pressing operation as the coordinate axis selected by the user.

[0133] For example, the X key on the keyboard is the first key, the C key is the second key, and the Z key is the third key. When the user presses the X key, it means that the user selects the first coordinate axis as the lock range. When the user presses the X key and the C key, it means that the user selects the plane enclosed by the first coordinate axis and the second coordinate axis as the lock range. When the user presses the X key, the C key, and the Z key, it means that the user selects the third coordinate axis as the lock range.

[0134] It is worth mentioning that by pressing keys to determine the coordinate axis, the user can quickly select the coordinate axis to be locked.

[0135] In step 820 , a locking range is determined based on at least one coordinate axis.

[0136] Here, after the user selects at least one coordinate axis, the electronic device determines a locking range according to the at least one coordinate axis selected by the user.

[0137] In some embodiments, when the at least one coordinate axis includes any one of the first coordinate axis, the second coordinate axis, and the third coordinate axis, the locking range is determined according to any one of the coordinate axes.

[0138] When the user selects any one of the first coordinate axis, the second coordinate axis, and the third coordinate axis, the selected coordinate axis becomes the locked range.

[0139] For example, when the user presses the X key, it means that the user selects the first coordinate axis, and the first coordinate axis is used as the locked range.

[0140] In other embodiments, when the at least one coordinate axis includes any two of the first coordinate axis, the second coordinate axis, and the third coordinate axis, the locking range is determined according to a plane range enclosed by the any two coordinate axes.

[0141] When the user selects any two coordinate axes from the first coordinate axis, the second coordinate axis, and the third coordinate axis, the plane enclosed by the two coordinate axes selected by the user becomes the locked range.

[0142] For example, when the user presses the X key and the C key, it means that the user selects the plane enclosed by the first coordinate axis and the second coordinate axis as the locking range.

[0143] In some further embodiments, when the at least one coordinate axis includes a first coordinate axis, a second coordinate axis, and a third coordinate axis, the locking range is determined according to the coordinate axis that is last selected among the first coordinate axis, the second coordinate axis, and the third coordinate axis.

[0144] Among them, when the user selects the first coordinate axis, the second coordinate axis and the third coordinate axis, the one selected last by the user is the locked range.

[0145] For example, when the user presses the X key, the C key, and the Z key, if the last key pressed by the user is the Z key, it means that the user selects the third coordinate axis as the locked range.

[0146] It should be understood that if the user simultaneously presses two of the first, second, and third buttons, the plane bounded by the two coordinate axes corresponding to the two pressed buttons becomes the locked range. If the user presses the last button again, the locked range becomes the coordinate axis corresponding to the last button. If the user releases one of the three buttons after pressing it, the plane bounded by the coordinate axes corresponding to the remaining two buttons becomes the locked range. If the user releases a button again, the coordinate axis corresponding to the remaining button becomes the locked range.

[0147] It should be understood that by determining the locking range according to the last selected coordinate axis among the first coordinate axis, the second coordinate axis, and the third coordinate axis, the user can quickly switch between axis range locking and plane range locking.

[0148] Therefore, through the above embodiment, the user can quickly select the locking range.
