Part Tree Behaviour

Items can be selected by left-clicking anywhere on their row. Where selecting more than 1 item would be valid you can hold <ctrl> whilst clicking to select multiple items. Alternatively the <click> (start of range) .. <shift><click> (end of range) method (cf Windows) may be used.

Clicking on the [-] button next to models / include files / assemblies will collapse branches. Collapsed branches will have a [+] button which when clicked will expand the branch.

Right-clicking on an item or a selection of items produces a pop-up menu with the options shown on the right (not all of these options will be available for some selections).

Blank	Blanks the item
Unblank	Unblanks the item
Only	Blanks all other items and unblanks the item
Colour	Colours the items (or elements associated with the item)as selected
Transparency	Sets the transparency the items (or elements associated with the item)as selected
Display Mode	Marks the item to be drawn with a particular method (wireframe, hidden, shaded or current)
Overlay Colour	Sets the item to be drawn with a particular colour overlay
Overlay Mode	Sets the style of Overlay the item is to be drawn with (see OVERLAY... Controlling the hidden-line overlay of element borders on data plots )
Brightness	Controls how light or dark the colour of the item is when illuminated, but the effect is to add matt colour (not whiteness, which would make it look shiny).
Shininess	Adds white highlights, but no colour, to make the object look shiny.
