The Hierarchical List
You can use the list view to create and manage your animation scenes. The scene trees display the
scene components such as animation sets, cameras, and section planes in a hierarchical structure.
To work with an item in the list view, you must first select it. You can display a shortcut menu for any item
in the tree by right-clicking the item.
Selecting a scene component in the list view selects all the elements contained within that component in
the main NavisWorks window. For example, selecting an animation set in the list view automatically
selects all geometry objects contained within that animation set.
You can quickly copy and move items in the list view by dragging them. To do this, click the item you want
to copy or move, hold down the right mouse button, and drag the item to the desired location. When the
cursor changes to a black arrow, release the mouse button to display a shortcut menu. Click copy or
move, as appropriate.
Icons
Use the icons at the bottom of the scene view to add new items to the list view, to delete items from the
list view, and to reorder items.
Add - opens a shortcut menu that enables you to add new items to the list view

Delete - deletes the currently selected item in the list view.
Note:
If you made a mistake, use the button on the Standard toolbar to restore the deleted item.
Move Up - moves the currently selected item up in the list view.
Move Down - moves the currently selected item down in the list view.
