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.
