Customization of a container that is insertable into a digital twin

A computer system comprising:

• a processor system;
• and
• a storage system that includes instructions that are executable by the processor system to cause the computer system to:
• generate the digital twin of the spatial layout;
• insert a container having a defined type into the digital twin, the container being configured to include one or more objects whose characteristics correspond with the defined type of the container such that the defined type of the container operates as a filter in determining which objects are permitted to be included in the container;
• select a first object and a second object for inclusion in the container, wherein the first and second objects have characteristics that correspond with the defined type of the container;
• auto-populate the container by including, within the container, the first object and the second object, such that the container is auto-populated based on the container's defined type;
• and
• perform a global modification to the container within the digital twin, resulting in a first modification to the first object and a second modification to the second object.

A method for generating a container that includes one or more objects, the container being insertable into a digital twin of a spatial layout to populate the digital twin with the one or more objects, said method comprising:

• generating, within a user interface, the digital twin of the spatial layout;
• inserting, within the user interface, a container having a defined type into the digital twin, the container being configured to include one or more objects whose characteristics correspond with the defined type of the container such that the defined type of the container operates as a filter in determining which objects are permitted to be included in the container;
• selecting a first object and a second object for inclusion in the container, wherein the first and second objects have characteristics that correspond with the defined type of the container, and wherein the first and second objects are displayed in the user interface, the first and second objects being included in a set of multiple objects that are selectable within the user interface;
• auto-populating, within the user interface, the container by including, within the container, the first object and the second object, such that the container is auto-populated based on the container's defined type;
• and
• performing, within the user interface, a global modification to the container within the digital twin, resulting in a first modification to the first object and a second modification to the second object.
