Table Of Contents
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.
You can quickly copy and move items in the tree 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 mouse pointer
changes to an arrow, release the right mouse button to display a shortcut
menu. Click Copy Here or Move Here, as appropriate.
Shortcut Menu
You can display a shortcut menu for any item in the tree by right-clicking an
item. The following commands are available on the shortcut menu whenever
they are applicable:
