>>> "showcellnumber": true,
>>> "paddingcells": 0,
>>> "referencecsid": 1,
>>> "MyFirstCell": "path/to/firstcell.a3dcomp", # optional to insert 3d comp
>>> "MySecondCell": "path/to/secondcell.a3dcomp",# optional to insert 3d comp
>>> "MyThirdCell": "path/to/thirdcell.a3dcomp",  # optional to insert 3d comp
