Browsing CAD Model Assemblies and Parts with Monolithic Viewer
The Model tab of the Model Browser section provides end users with quick navigation through an assembly structure shown as a tree of CAD Documents.
Selecting Parts in Model Browser
Part selection is synchronized between the CAD Document tree on the Model tab of Model Browser and a given 3D CAD model. Clicking a part or surface on the model selects this part on the model and its CAD Document in the tree. And vice versa, clicking a CAD Document in the tree selects its part or assembly on the model as well.
Hiding and Unhiding Parts with Model Browser
Each CAD Document in the Model tab of Model Browser has the Toggle Part Display button to hide or show its represented part or assembly on the model. CAD Documents of hidden parts and assemblies are light grey in the tree.
Part Context Menu in Model Tree
Right-clicking a CAD Document in the Model tab of Model Browser displays the Part context menu for this CAD Document and its represented part or assembly.
The Model tree fully reuses the Part context menu, its commands, and their behavior as discussed in the Part Context Menu section. The only exception is the Hide command, which is:
- Shown for a CAD Document whose part or assembly is visible on a 3D CAD model.
- Replaced by the Show command for a CAD Document whose part or assembly is hidden on a 3D CAD model.
Clicking the Show command makes a given hidden part or assembly visible on a 3D CAD model.
