Hello everyone,  
I try to add multiple components within a tab container in perspective, but it allows me to add just one component that occupies all the view (figure1)!

Is it possible to configure the tab container in order to be like coordinate container (figure2)?

Thank you in advance!

You’re only allowed one component in that container. There’s no reason that component can’t be another container, though…

Sorry. I don’t understand your response!

You can drag a coordinate container into the root of the tab container. From there, if you deep select the coordinate container, you can drag other components into it like you are expecting.

Here in the image you can see that I have two coordinate containers in the tab container, one for each tab.
