All active scene explorers are saved and loaded with the scene. To save and
load scene explorers separately, and delete and rename them, use the
Manage
Scene Explorer dialog
on page 7182 .
The Scene Explorer interface consists of a menu bar, two toolbars, and a table
view of objects in the scene, with a row for each object and a column for each
displayed object property. The default layout displays object name, color,
number of faces, and certain display properties, but you can easily customize
it to show only the properties you want. You can save customized Scene
Explorer setups, and set any custom setup to be the default view.
