The Object Directory displays the elements of your model and enables you to change their properties. It has two tabs: ‘Scene view’ and ‘Properties’. The ‘Scene view’ tab enables you to show or hide elements within the viewing area, including Background image, Grid, Axes, Scene, Model, Entities, Entity Trails, Cameras and On-screen information.

The ‘Properties’ tab displays information about the properties of elements in the viewing area, like individual Entity information and Model elements such as accessible space, floors, walls, handrails, light-sources, etc.

The objects in the ‘Scene view’ tab are displayed in a tree structure. Click on the + and – icons to expand or collapse branches of the Object Directory.

To hide an object, click on its adjacent eye icon to place a bar across it. To show an object again, click the eye icon to remove the bar. You can also show or hide an object by right-clicking on its name in the directory and selecting Hide Object or Show Object.

To view information and properties pertaining to an object in the scene, select the relevant object in the viewing area and then click the ‘Properties’ tab.
