3D Panel
What Does This Widget Do?
The 3D Panel widget is a container that allows you to group widgets and data on the panel to create contrast in a 3D Eyewear Experience. A 3D Panel also lets you nest the following widgets under it to allow for grouping:
• 3D Label
• 3D Button
• 3D Gauge
• 3D Checkbox
• 3D Image
• 3D Image Button
• 3D Press Button
• 3D Toggle Button
* 
Once a widget is nested under the 3D Panel widget, its coordinate position is relative to the panel, not the canvas.
How Do I Use This Widget?
Use a 3D Panel when you want to create contrast using a background for other widgets. For example, you could use a 3D panel when you want to make sure a 3D button and 3D gauge are easy to see on a HoloLens Experience.

Minimum Steps Required for Use
What It Looks Like
1. Drag and drop a 3D Panel widget onto the canvas.
