BrowserΒΆ
The Browser view displays the document nodes in a 2D view.
By default when you create a Browser view, it displays the root of the scene graph. You can drill down or up the node hierarchy. Some nodes contain node graphs, such as Material, Light, RenderPass (shading nodes) or RenderGraph (RenderGraph nodes).
- Drill down in a node by double-clicking on it. If the node contains another node or a node network, the Browser view get updated with it.
- Drill down out of a node or a node network by double-clicking on the background.
- Drill down out of a node or a node network by double-clicking at the bottom-left of the Browser view on the desire position of the current hierarchy. This is useful if you want to drill up faster to one or several levels at a time.
Selection
You can perform single, multiple, all, none and hierarchy selection of Browser nodes and using same selection modifiers as in a Viewport view.
Show/Hide
It's possible to show/hide scene graph nodes. Hiden nodes won't be visible anymore in the Viewport, faded in the Browser and their name color changed to grey in the Node List.
- Select one or more scene graph nodes.
