Find Objects
Finding is a quick and powerful way of selecting items into the current selection based on items’ properties.
You can use the Find Items window to set up and run a search, which can then be saved and re-run in later
sessions or shared with other users.
You can also use Quick Find, which is a faster way of searching. It simply looks for the specified string in all
property names and values attached to items in the scene.
Find Items Window
The Find Items window is a dockable window that enables you to search for items having a common property
or combination of properties.
The left pane contains the Find Selection Tree with several tabs at the bottom, and enables you to select the level
of item to start searching at; this can be a file, a layer, an instance, a selection set, and so on.
The tabs are the same as on the Selection Tree window:
■ Standard. Displays the default tree hierarchy, including all instancing.
■ Compact. Displays a simplified version of the tree hierarchy.
■ Properties. Displays the hierarchy based on the items’ properties.
■ Sets. Displays a list of selection and search sets. If no selection and search sets have been created, this tab is
not shown.
