Working with Hierarchies
Working with Hierarchies
When a model contains a hierarchy, an arrow will be shown before the visibility control so you can expand or collapse the hierarchy.
Model objects' visibility and color can be customized from any level of a hierarchy the same way you can for the model itself, by using the Visibility and Color colors in the selection toolbar.
Accessing Hierarchies
Accessing Hierarchies
Model hierarchies are visible from the Selected models mode. Then expand the model hierarchy by clicking the small arrow in front of the model name.
Note that the model must be visible before the hierarchy tree can be expanded.
