🌳 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).
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).
