RealityPlan tools allow you to place several objects to enhance your environment and reorganize your reality (such as annotations or 3D models). Here are some quick tips to facilitate the manipulation of these objects.
The object panel
The object panel allows you to visualize and edit your layout easily. All the objects you placed can be found in the panel. You can open/close it at any time by clicking on the arrow button in the top left corner of the panel.

Lock/unlock
VisibilityWhen selecting an object from the panel, its information panel opens on the settings tab. It allows you to adjust the object settings and perform common operations such as moving or deleting the object.
Properties tab
Within the information panel of 3D assets, you'll find an additional tab labeled Properties. This tab allows you to append and modify properties on your assets, enhancing your ability to effectively manage your space.
Folders
Folders allow you to categorize your layout objects by a simple drag and drop. You can create folders using the .png "image(13).png"){kind=small}

Pressing the folder highlight button will highlight the objects contained inside the folder
Pressing the folder visibility button will toggle the visibility of all elements inside the folder

Also, using Ctrl+F shortcut will automatically open the object panel and focus on the search bar.
