And in this video, we're going to use that information to set up a label on each individual 3D panel. So I'm continuing right where I left off in Grasshopper. So before we go any further here, I'll just do a little bit of organization. Some of these components here I can disable preview on. So for example this bounding box. I don't actually need to see that. So I'll right click and disable preview. Same thing with the deconstruct box. Right click and disable preview, and then the point as well.
