	The core of PanelForge is the digital 'Panel'. Similar to a traditional storyboard, multiple Panels in a sequence are used to form a visual story. A PanelForge Panel can contain both 2D drawing layers and 3D geometry objects to convey an idea as efficiently as possible. By combining both 2D drawing and 3D layout at the Storyboarding stage many advantages can be achieved:		The core of PanelForge is the digital 'Panel'.
