VR spaces are increasingly used for purposes other than entertainment, to help communicate ideas in more memorable and effective ways. This paper focuses on the problem of how 2D panel layouts - i.e. information dashboards - can be effectively created and edited in 3D spaces. We propose a set of canonical operations to support such layout design. We also introduce a pilot implementation that enables the use of these operations to help configure 2D content within spaces running on the MaxWhere VR platform.
