• Key Concepts: 
  Metadata type is a term used in SAP Visual Enterprise (CA-VE) to refer to the type of information associated with a 3D object. This type of information can include the object's name, description, size, color, and other properties. It is used to help identify and categorize objects in a 3D scene. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Metadata types are used to help organize 3D objects in a scene. They can be used to quickly identify objects and their properties, as well as to group objects together for easier navigation. To assign a metadata type to an object, select the object in the scene and then select the “Metadata” tab in the Properties window. From there, you can assign a metadata type to the object. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When assigning metadata types to objects, it is important to be consistent with your naming conventions. This will make it easier to find and identify objects in the scene later on. Additionally, it is helpful to use descriptive names for your metadata types so that they are easy to understand.
