Visual Tool
Overview and Key Concepts
The Visual Tool class enables several 3D visualization capabilities. While you won't see this class directly in the library, several of the objects in the library's Visual group are instances of this class, including the Text, Billboard, Plane,Slide, and Shape objects.
Visual tools can be 3D "props" in your model. They can also display text information, etc. See Using Visual Objects for more information on how you can use visual tools.
States
The visual tool does not implement any automatic state logic.
