# Group Manager

The `GroupManager` system enables the management of visual groups within the PlayMode. It facilitates showing, hiding, and toggling visibility of game objects and meshes based on predefined group settings. The `GroupManager` is part of the realvirtual prefab.

Under the "Visible Groups" section, you can configure settings for each group to be available in PlayMode. The parameters are:

* Group Name: Select a group from the dropdown, which lists all scene groups.
* Disable Game Object On Hide: Choose whether to disable the GameObject when the group is hidden.
* Disable Mesh On Hide: Choose whether to disable the mesh renderer when the group is hidden.
* Inactive On Start: Specify if the group should be hidden at the start of the application.

Each selectable group is listed. Groups with GameObjects disabled on hide are marked with a circle icon, while those using the mesh renderer are marked with an eye icon.
