The latest update introduces a more structured and user-friendly model tree, enabling smoother navigation and improved control over files and objects. Here's an overview of the key enhancements:

  1. Structured Navigation

    • The model tree now provides a more hierarchical structure. Users can drill down into individual objects or navigate back to the file level for broader context.

    • Clicking an item initially selects the file level, but users can uncheck this to focus solely on specific objects.

  2. Drill-Down Capability

    • Users can expand folders to explore files and individual objects within the hierarchy.

    • A "clear" option resets everything to its original state for easy navigation.

  3. Handling Sub-Objects

    • Objects with multiple sub-objects are clearly displayed, showing counts (e.g., "86 objects with the same name").

    • Users can decide whether to drill down further into these sub-levels.

  4. File Type Filtering

    • A powerful filter allows users to sort and display objects based on specific file types.

    • For example, users can filter only "train data" or "point clouds" to isolate specific files or datasets.

  5. Fly to

    • Once filtered, users can "fly to" the specific files, such as point clouds, for a more seamless visualization experience.

  6. Group Creation from the Model Tree

    • Users can now save specific paths or objects as groups for easier access and organization.

    • For example, if a user wants to group a specific building, they can navigate to it in the model tree and select “Save to Groups.”

    • When saving a group, users can assign a collection name and a specific Name for clarity.

    • For instance, a Collection can be named “Disciplines” with the object labeled “Construction.”

    • Once saved, the group is created with a direct link to the chosen folder or object.

    • Clicking on the group provides quick access, and users can even edit it later to confirm its path is based on the folder or selected hierarchy.
