Container node

A container node is added to your scene when you select Assets > Create Container. Any children of a container node are considered encapsulated by the container. For more information on containers, see Asset overview.

A container node often consists of published attributes. Published attributes are bound to attributes of encapsulated nodes such that changing the value in one place automatically updates it in the other.

Container attributes
