Section Manager

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.

Toggle Visibility

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:

  • Name: When naming your Section, give it a name that will make it easy to find.

  • Position: Position of the model on the viewport.

  • Rotation: Rotation of the model on the viewport.

  • Scale: Size of the model multiplied by the inserted value.

  • Actions: Add Room.

  • Active: Visibility of Section on viewport.

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

Currently, creating a Room and additional Volumes are only used for powering IoT capabilities. For more information, visit IoT Manager.

Rooms and Volumes will show particles and colors based on data received from IoT devices.

Custom Properties

With custom properties you can create fields and assign data for specific sections.

You can choose from a variety of properties:

  • Text: Short text field.

  • Boolean: Toggle switch.

  • Date: Date field.

  • Rich Text: Long text field.

  • File: Upload any extension file.

  • Thumbnail: In 2D picture.

  • IoT: Connect IoT devices.

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.
