Object Browser

The Object Browser is a hierarchical view of objects that make up your 3D scene.

The appearance of the object browser can be customized.

When you start a new Cheetah3D document, there will be one Camera by default, since this camera shows you what you currently see in the 3D View. As you add objects to your scene, you will see them appear in the Object Browser, one per line.

The appearance of the object browser can be customized using the Display context menu. That allows you to access certain often used properties faster.

Sometimes you need to put objects "inside" other ones (conceptually, not physically). A simple form of this is when you use a Folder to group objects together. Some Creator Objects however, need objects to be placed inside of them before they will create any results. To do this, simply click on the desired child object, and drag it on top of the parent object. You can also change the order of objects by clicking and dragging them to the right place.

The object browser will display object selections in two different colors (see image below). The darker blue hereby shows the primary selected object. All tools only apply to this object.
If you make a multi object selection you will see that the other object are highlighted with a lighter blue. These objects are secondary selections. You can use multi object selections for example to organize your scene graph and for building object groups.
