NOTE: Because the 'lab' part of the desk is hidden its a good idea to 'force' the hidden section on show while deriving. To do so;

go to the Actions tab in previewer

In the Trigger field remove the word showlab and replace with stance.Idle (make sure the i is capital)

Then hit Apply and you should be able to work with everything visible

Remember to reverse this when you finish or the animation will just happen automatically all the time

Vertex shading: I have added some some shadows to the tops of walls and ceiling using vertex shading. You can switch this on and off as you like on any material just check the box in previewer as explained here. This adds more flexibility to the range. Below is an example of vertex shading on and off. It is off by default in previewer..
