🌳 Node Tree & Search

The Node Tree displays the complete structural hierarchy of the model.

🖥️ Interface & Symbols

The tree represents nodes with specific geometric icons:

  • RootNode: The model base.
  • Node / TransformNode: Structural groups and transformation data.
  • RenderNode: The actual 3D geometry of a part.
  • Eye Icon: Toggles visibility (affects all sub-nodes).

🖱️ Interaction

  • Expand/Collapse: Click the arrow to the left of a node to see its children.
  • Select: Click a node to select it (and its 3D part).
Multi-Select**: Hold *Ctrl (or Cmd) to select multiple nodes. Visibility**: Toggle the eye icon to hide/show parts. Hiding a node is **descendant-based** (hides everything inside it), while showing a node is *ancestor-based (ensures the path to the part is visible).

🔍 Search & Filters

  • Real-time Search: Type in the search bar to filter the tree. Results preserve their branch hierarchy for context.
  • Type Filter: Use the dropdown menu to show only specific types (like RenderNodes).
