3D Model Group
A 3D Model Group is a set of 3D model files that
work together to describe an area. Here we see
Parcel 8 Model Group, which includes -
Roads - Sidewalks - Trees - Fountain,
etc.

• Contents of Parcel 8 Model Group
• A representative rendering from the model. (Will
  be located like a photo)
• An icon of that photo for use in selection
  windows
• 3D files for all the items in the model group.
