Visibility Pane

The Visibility Pane lists all the entities in the model to quickly view and edit any item.

Tree Tab

The Tree tab lists the entities by order in which they were added to the model. To the left of each entity name is its type symbol (Geology, Water, Load/Force, etc). Operations you can perform on the entities include:

• Selection: Click on the entity name to select the entity
  
• Visibility: Toggle the Visibility icon to show/hide entities in the model.
• Delete: Select the Delete icon to delete entities in the model.
• Locked: Entities with the External Boundary Lock symbol cannot be deleted. See the External Geometry section for more details.

Selecting any entity in the Visibility Tree will highlight the item of interest in the modelling interface. Selecting any entity on the model will highlight the item on the Visibility Tree. Clicking on any header in the Visibility Tree will select all the entities in that category- to de-select, simply click anywhere on the modeling pane.

You can also use up/down arrow keys on the keyboard to switch between different entities and locate the highlighted entity in the view pane.

Selection Tab

The Selection tab lists Selection Groups by order in which they were added to the model. A Selection Group is a group of geometry entities that have been selected by the user to be grouped together. You can define different selection groups and pick them up easily from Selection Tab:

1. Select entities, faces, edges and/or vertices (Please see the Selecting page for more details).
   
2. In the Visibility Pane, go to the Selection tab.
   
3. Click either Add New Selection Group or Edit Selection Group to add or edit your selection groups.

You can select any entity type to add to a selection group such as supports, joints, etc.

Groups Tab

The Groups tab sorts the entities by type (Geology, Water, Load/Force, etc) as shown by its type symbol located on the left of the name. Operations you can perform on the entities include:

• Selection: Select the entity name or Entity Selection checkbox to select the entity. If you select the checkbox in the column title, you can select all entities at once.
• Visibility: Select the Visibility checkbox to show/hide entities in the model. If you select the checkbox in the column title, you can show/hide all entities at once.
• Delete: Select the Delete icon to delete selected entities in the model.

Roles Tab

This tab sorts the entities by Role and then by Applied Property within each role section. This helps with editing groups of entities at once that share these attributes. By holding SHIFT, you can select all materials of a particular role at once.

This also works for other types of entities like Loads, Supports, etc. For example, in a specific location of the model, you can find all Loads and edit them.
