You can also resize it using the hand UI. If you accidentally select too much, you can switch to deselect mode by pressing the deselect button on your hand UI. # Voxelizer How to convert 3D models into voxels {% embed url="" %} The voxelizer can transform 3D models and images into a format that is fully editable within Figmin XR and also generate a more accurate collider. {% hint style="info" %} To use the voxelizer, switch to "[Edit mode](broken://pages/hOzfheYUORxANK3tFh5U)" and open the[ options menu](/getting-started/basics/options-menu) of the model. {% endhint %} To voxelize a model, adjust the resolution and press Start.
