Multiple Volumes can be parented to one Body, as long as they share the same Tag.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
You can have multiple Bodies in one scene. You don't have to merge all objects! They must have unique Parameter IDs. ID=body, ID=body1, ID=body2, etc...

**·** Zones are made out of Splines in 3DS Max.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://gem-2-modding-community.gitbook.io/gem-2-modding-community/volumes-and-zones/examples.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
