Section Manager is a tool that allows you to organize and manage different sections of your 3D model. You can create rooms and volumes inside sections, and assign asset records to sections.

To toggle visibility of sections, click the circle symbol. You can also select a section and use the toggle button next to "Active" in Section properties.
Properties
Select a section to view and edit its properties:

Scale and Position
You can set the scale if needed, and make models smaller or bigger. Adjust position to move the section on the viewport.
Assign Asset to Section
In Asset instance properties, You can keep Auto-detect enabled so that the asset will be assigned to the closest section.
You can also manually assign asset instances to sections.
Rooms and Volumes
Rooms and Volumes will show particles and colors based on data received from IoT devices.

You can choose from a variety of properties:
-
Text: Short text field.
-
Boolean: Toggle switch.

Rich Text: Long text field.
-
File: Upload any extension file.

If you connect IoT devices or sensors to rooms, you will be able to see data coming from the endpoint. All data can be shaped by using particles and colors.
