[00:00] In this video, we are going to take a look at the perspective symbols. The perspective symbols are fully-immersive graphical components that are found in the Perspective Component pallet under the Symbols section. Pulling inspiration from both the display components as well as SVGs, the symbols offer the ability to display various values while also containing a graphical element. With each symbol, it contains properties that allow you to not just modify the component, but modify the graphic within. For example, while I can determine what the label and value of this pump says as well as the location of the text, I can also change the variant of the pump to a vacuum pump, and it will change the graphic that represents it. In addition, each symbol has a state property, which when changed, will alter the animation of the symbol. For example, if I change this state property of the pump to running, we can see that the pump begins flashing to indicate that is currently running. The animation on each graphic differs depending on the symbol that you've used. For example, on the vessel component, if I were to change the state property to running, we can see that the blades start mixing the contents within.
