Set up isolation for each group

You can use isolation layers to manage visibility of 3D objects not involved in a group. Before configuring the Discovery details, we will create isolation layers, as they provide useful visibility toggling to isolate parts of the machine.

Isolation layers

Isolations are useful for:

• Enhancing Discover

• Creating animations using XR Studio

• Showing exploded view or maintenance procedure animations

When you set up a layer for each unique 3D entity, this gives you the ability to isolate 3D geometry when you click the Metadata button on one of the group entries.

In the graphic context, we create a 3DLayer node for isolating elements that belong to each group—from all other parts of the machine. The underlying XR scripts will use layers to isolate both in VR and AR modes.

With the current pipeline, we must select mesh for layers used for managing visibility (like in the Discover isolation mode) and objects when the application is in AR mode.

You will be creating and configuring five layers for the machine asset using the mesh naming pattern.

Note: Requirements for graphics production is to provide an organized naming model to more easily identify machine subcomponents and allow for easier and faster project assembly.
