2. Press the play button in the top menu.
3. Wait until the algorithm finishes, and you can see the optimized marker set layout on the prop (Umbrella) on a white background.
4. You can take a screenshot by pressing the left mouse button, which will be saved in the "Assets/Screenshot." folder.
5. Press the "X" button to display different prop designs and markers.
