    <!-- include the menu -->
    <include url="sidemenu.xml" />

    <!-- define the menu items -->
    <group name="level_0">
        <group name="object_1" value="1. GROUP" link="switch_menu(1);" />
        <group name="object_2" value="2. GROUP" link="switch_menu(2);" />
    </group>

    <group name="level_1">
        <group name="object_1" value="GROUP 1 - element 1" link="loadscene(pano1_1,null,MERGE,BLEND(0.5))" />
        <group name="object_2" value="GROUP 1 - element 2" link="loadscene(pano1_2,null,MERGE,BLEND(0.5))" />
        <group name="object_3" value="GROUP 1 - element 3" link="loadscene(pano1_3,null,MERGE,BLEND(0.5))" />
