## Summary

**Created by @Krat0es**\
**Published October 10 2022**

This guide aims to teach you moving and deleting objects from the world.

### Requirements

* the most recent Wolvenkit (stable | Nightly), at least [8.7](https://github.com/WolvenKit/WolvenKit)

1. Add your sector file to the Wolvenkit project
2. Open it by double-clicking
3. Click on `Sector Preview` again
4. Click into the preview to highlight an object.\
   \&#xNAN;*This will print the object's node name and -index to the log.*
5. In the list on the right, find the object that you want to delete.\
   \&#xNAN;*You can toggle the red checkmark(s) to show/hide objects in the preview*

6. Go back to the **WorldStreamingSector** tab
7. Click on expand nodeData to find the object in the list. It is easiest to go by index, which should have been printed to the log when you selected the object in step 4.
8. Expand the node and find `Position`, `Orientation` and `Scale`:

You can now

* change the object's coordinates or scale
* delete the object from the world by right-clicking the node and deleting it (see screenshot `deletus`)

## Troubleshooting

### My deleted object is low-resolution now!

That means that it has a proxy mesh, which you **also** need to delete.

1. Search the game for your sector file's name without the last digit\
   Example:\
   You're editing `interior_-23_15_0_1`\
   You're searching `interior_-23_15_0_`

**`Note:`** when you delete a object and you see a low res mesh in its place in the game that means the object has a proxy assigned you will have to find the sector the proxy is in and delete the proxy mesh. `(you may do that following the same steps)`

# 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://wiki.redmodding.org/cyberpunk-2077-modding/modding-guides/world-editing/archived-guides/archived-world-editing-via-file-edit.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.
