The Animator Tree View
The Animator tree view lists all scenes and scene components in a hierarchical list view.
Use it to create and manage animation scenes.
Hierarchical List
You can use the Animator tree 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 tree view, you must first select it.
Selecting a scene component in the tree view selects all the elements contained within that component in the
Scene View. For example, selecting an animation set in the tree view automatically selects all geometry objects
contained within that animation set.
