When using zones for filtering it is important to understand how zones function in Fuzor. Zones are designed to contain a snapshot of a model. A zone is associated with the objects that are visible in the model and contained within the zone when it is created, edited or updated. This allows the user to create separate sets of zones for different model sets or sequences.
