Helper Objects

Helper objects support scene organization and technical workflows.

Foxel provides the following helper object types:

• Group
• Locator
• Scan Box

Group

A Group is a container object used to organize other objects in the hierarchy.

Groups make it easier to structure complex scenes and manage related objects together.

Locator

A Locator is a lightweight object that marks a position in the scene.

It does not add visible geometry and is mainly used as a reference point for placement, animation, or scene organization.

Scan Box

A Scan Box defines a 3D region inside a Voxel Scene or Mesh Asset.

It is used by References to determine which part of the source asset is converted into voxel data.

This makes it possible to use only a specific section of an asset instead of the full source content.

For more information, see Referencing Assets.

Scan Box Properties

Size	Defines the dimensions of the Scan Box.
Origin	Defines the origin of the generated voxel data when used by a Reference object.
Frame	Defines which frame is used when voxel data is requested from the source asset.
