**NestedCanvas** component as seen in the Scene Inspector

The Nested Canvas component takes in a target Canvas to nest as, and then it drives the values to the StartingOffset, StartingMaskDepth, and sets the BoxCollider Offset and Size, for consistency with the main canvas this component is under.

This is essentially a component that can nest (or you can think of it as masking) another uix canvas within another canvas, this can be transformed to your liking, which makes it very useful for rotating UIX. Interactions are also communicated as well.

Fields
Name	Type	Description
`persistent`	Bool	Determines whether or not this item will be saved to the server.
`UpdateOrder`	Int	Controls the order in which this component is updated.
`Enabled`	Bool	Controls whether or not this component is enabled. Some components stop their functionality when this field is disabled, but some don't.
`TargetCanvas`	Canvas	The target canvas to nest as
`_renderOffset`	field drive of Int	The render offset reference from the target canvas to be applied to the new nested canvas
`_maskDepth`	field drive of Int	The mask depth reference from the target canvas to be applied to the new nested canvas

Usage

This component is used mainly for consistency with other canvas components, no matter where in the world hierarchy. It does not need to be on the same canvas or panel to work.
