Manage neighborhoods in 3D view

A neighborhood is a collection of workspaces in an office neighborhood seating. Neighborhoods can go across several work areas and spaces on floor level and several floors in a building. Usually, neighborhoods are created for departments or project teams. Connected booking apps can support the booking of workspaces in dedicated neighborhoods and bring employees together who work together.
