Selecting a Structure Level

This command enables you to dynamically select any parent level of a selected object.

  1. Select an object and, from the context bar, select Level Selector .
  2. Hover over a gradation mark.
    The corresponding structure level is highlighted in both the 3D and the tree/graph view.
  3. Move along the gradation marks and then click a gradation to select a specific level.
    The selected level is highlighted in both the 3D and the tree/graph view.

Tips:

A filtered structure can be navigated from the 3D using the Level Selector. If the structure has been filtered using 6WTags and you have applied colors, then the Level Selector indicates the different structure levels using the defined colors. For more information about 6WTags, see 6WTags.

When you select the Colorize option in the 6WTags:

  • The noncolored parts are displayed in transparency so you can see the objects that may be hidden behind.
  • In case of stand-alone 3D shapes, the parent of the selected 3D shape does not appear in ghost mode to let you select the other child object of this branch.
  • You can select the objects that remain in transparency.
  • In the Layers panel, you can apply the color layer to either:
    • Leaves, to colorize only the model's representation, according to the 6WTags color value
    • Tree expansion, to colorize the model according to the 2D structure expand state.
      Notes:

      The Tree expansion option is available only if both the 2D and 3D widgets are opened.

      When you select the Tree expansion option , and then close the 2D widget, the layers panel remains open, and the colorization is applied to the last expand state of the structure in the 2D widget.

      When you deactivate the colorization, the objects in the 3D widget remain colorized according to the last expand state of the structure in the 2D widget.
