Part list#

Use the top-left panel to access the dataset part list. This object tree helps you inspect parent-child relationships defined in the loaded VTK dataset. You can search for a part, change visibility for individual parts or part groups, and select individual parts for further actions.

Use the following controls in the part list:

  • Search input

    • Type in the search input to filter the object tree by text.

    • The filter matches part names.

  • Show/hide

    • Click the eye icon next to a part or part group name to hide it.

    • Click the eye-slash icon to show it again.

  • Part groups

    • Click ▶ to collapse a part group.

    • Click ▼ to expand a part group.

    • The loaded VTK dataset defines which parts appear in each group.

    • Part groups are organizational entries in the part list and do not exist as separate scene objects.

  • Selecting parts

    • Hold CTRL or SHIFT and click parts or part groups to select multiple items.

    • Use CTRL + click to select individual parts or deselect a selected part.

    • Use SHIFT + click to select a range of parts.

    • Click a part group to select all descendant parts.

    • Selected parts are shaded blue. Parts with color variables or constants are not shaded when selected because of a VTK bug. For related limitations, see Known limitations.

    • If you select parts in the rendering window, the part list updates to match that selection.

    • To clear all selections, left-click an empty area in the rendering window.
