This tutorial introduces methods for working with the Container feature. The container provides various project-management functions, including organizing scene components and sharing tasks among team members, along with locking files and restricting access to specific scene components.
Use containers to organize scene contents and build scenes.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to:
- Use containers to organize and share scene contents.
- Inherit a container.
- Restrict access to specific object parameters from other users.
