Add Optional Faceplate Views

This example shows two additional faceplate toolbar buttons added to the equipment status faceplate that toggle
between the existing main Equipment_Status_Faceplate Group (home button) and a new help object group
(help button).

1.

Create a new object group, for example HelpManual_Group,
to be launched and add the objects within that group you
wish to display when help toolbar button is pressed.

2.

Right-click the new group and choose Animation>Visibility.

3.

Set the Visibility animation to be true when the
Set_EquipFaceplateAnimation tag in the Add-On
Instruction becomes a certain value, for example 1.

4.

Create an interlocked pushbutton on toolbar (see example) that will activate visibility of the new object
group.
