Model Explorer
The Model Explorer is accessible via Model>Explorer menu command. The
Explorer dialog displays structure of the model.
Nodes in the left hand pane show available Objects
in the model. Different types
of object have different icons. Icon of the current
object has green
background. Selection of a object in the left pane will display its common
properties on the right. If an object has children, the correspondent node can be
expanded to display them.
Explorer is useful when some of sections are invisible. Some operations can
be performed using the explorer without changing the current object in
3D Debugger.
If object has a name it will be displayed next to the icon. Otherwise the
icon will show index of the object in the array. The name can be
modified using correspondent edit box on the right. This property is
also accessible from "Current Object">Options dialog.
Selecting an object on the left and pressing "Set Current" button
will make the selected object current in the Model. To deselect any objects select the current object and press the same button, which will have
"Make not Current" text on it.
Action > Delete menu command (or Delete key) allows deletion of the selected object and all its
children.
Model Explorer offers a shortcut for the Join command.
To join Object A to object B, make A the current object, select object B in the
tree and select Action>Join command in menu of the dialog.
To Detach an object from its parent
select the object in the tree and select Action>Detach menu command.
Change position controls allow changing position of the currently selected
object in the array of its siblings.
