    \title Repeater3D

    \note The \uicontrol Repeater3D component is released as a tech preview
    feature in \QDS 2.2, and its functionality will be improved in future
    releases.

    The \uicontrol Repeater3D component is used to create a large number of
    similar items. Like other view types, \uicontrol Repeater3D needs a model
    and a delegate. For each entry in the model, the delegate is instantiated in
    a context seeded with data from the model.

    The model can be any of the supported \l{Lists and Other Data Models}
    {data models}. Additionally, like delegates for other views, a delegate for
    the \uicontrol Repeater3D can access its index within the repeater, as well
    as the model data relevant to the delegate.

    Add a \uicontrol Repeater3D component to your scene by drag-and-dropping it
    from \uicontrol Library > \uicontrol Components > \uicontrol {Qt Quick 3D} >
    \uicontrol {Qt Quick 3D} to \uicontrol Scene in \uicontrol Navigator.

    \note \uicontrol Repeater3D owns all items it instantiates. Removing or
    dynamically destroying an item created by \uicontrol Repeater3D results in
    unpredictable behavior.

    \note \uicontrol Repeater3D can only repeat objects derived from
    \uicontrol Nodes.

    For more information, see \l{https://doc.qt.io/qt/qml-qtquick3d-repeater3d.html}
    {Repeater3D} in the \uicontrol {Qt Quick 3D} documentation.

    \section1 Repeater3D Properties

    To define a model providing data for the repeater, select it in \l Navigator,
    and then in \uicontrol Properties > \uicontrol Repeater, specify the
    \uicontrol Model property. Currently, you can only use the \uicontrol Model
    property in the \uicontrol Properties view to set a numeric model or to bind
    to QML based models. You can use the \l {Working in Edit Mode}{Edit} mode or
    \l {Text Editor} to define any of the supported data models as the value of
    the \uicontrol Model property:
        \list
            \li A number that indicates the number of delegates to be created by
                the repeater.
            \li A model, such as a \uicontrol ListModel component, or a
                QAbstractItemModel subclass.
            \li A string list.
            \li An object list.
        \endlist

    The type of model affects the properties that are exposed to the delegate.

    The \uicontrol Delegate property specifies a template defining each object
    instantiated by the repeater. Currently, the \uicontrol Delegate property
    needs to be defined in code using the \uicontrol Edit mode or
    \uicontrol {Text Editor}. Delegates are exposed to a read-only index
    property that indicates the index of the delegate within the repeater. For
    more information, see \l{https://doc.qt.io/qt/qml-qtquick3d-repeater3d.html#delegate-prop}
    {Delegate} in the \uicontrol {Qt Quick 3D} documentation.

    If the model is a model object, such as a ListModel, the delegate can access
    all model roles as named properties, in the same way that delegates do for
    view classes like \uicontrol ListView.
