# Working with Things

Whenever you grab an asset from the [Asset Library](https://docs.moviestorm.co.uk/firststage/basics/asset-library) 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](https://docs.moviestorm.co.uk/firststage/basics/core-tools/grabber) (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](https://docs.moviestorm.co.uk/firststage/basics/working-with-things/using-movement-handles) or the [waldo](https://docs.moviestorm.co.uk/firststage/basics/working-with-things/moving-with-the-waldo).

We can also [multiply select](https://docs.moviestorm.co.uk/firststage/basics/core-tools/selector), [copy](https://docs.moviestorm.co.uk/firststage/basics/core-tools/duplicator) and [delete](https://docs.moviestorm.co.uk/firststage/basics/core-tools/destroyer) 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):
