Structure Views

You can change how you view objects in a structure from the action bar, toolbar, or the context menu, depending on how the commands are implemented in your app. Your app may have implemented some or all of these commands.

	Select Leaves Selects the leaves of the selected objects. Leaves are objects that have no child object. Selecting the leaf objects cancels the selection of the object you selected.
