using this experience: A\*-Frame: Tap to Place Ground | 8th Wall | 8th Wall\*  
I do not understand how to change the object from the cactus to something else in the js - could someone point me towards where define that?

Welcome to the forums!

All you need to do is modify the asset referenced in the tag.

You can find more details in the relevant AFrame documentation:

> **[A-Frame – Make WebVR](https://aframe.io/docs/1.6.0/core/asset-management-system.html)**
>
> A web framework for building virtual reality experiences. Make WebVR with HTML and Entity-Component. Works on Vive, Rift, desktop, mobile platforms.

It might also be a good idea to rename the asset ID from “cactus” to something more fitting, just to stay organized, though it’s not strictly necessary.

thank you - I was missing where that was (total + literal newbie).

One more question, it seems my new object isn’t appearing in the preview window, though does seem to be appearing on the stage correctly. Would appreciate being oriented towards a possible reason, thank you!

Actually, my apologies I figured it out! (didn’t hit build).  
Looks like I need to spend more time playing and watching tutorials. Thank you so much (I love it!)

yikes- one more stumbling block - I’ve published this with the cactus replaced with pumpkins, but when entering the game with scan or link it’s still cactus.
