# Working with Things

Whenever you grab an asset from the [Asset Library](/firststage/basics/asset-library.md) and place it on set you create a new **Thing**. (We call them 'things' to distinguish from the many other types of 'objects' around.)

A stage may include things already placed: typically set dressing, furniture etc. 

We can pick things up with the [Grabber](/firststage/basics/core-tools/grabber.md) (remote or proximity) and move them. This is a very fast way of laying out a set but it is not the most precise. You can also use the [movement handles](/firststage/basics/working-with-things/using-movement-handles.md) or the [waldo](/firststage/basics/working-with-things/moving-with-the-waldo.md).

We can also [multiply select](/firststage/basics/core-tools/selector.md), [copy](/firststage/basics/core-tools/duplicator.md) and [delete](/firststage/basics/core-tools/destroyer.md) things.

## Inspect Menu

If you point at a thing and press and hold the Inspect button (Vive Menu button or Index/Oculus B button), the Inspect Wheel Menu will show. This has the following actions (depending on the properties of the thing):
