Outliner

The Outliner displays all the objects you've created. Within the Outliner, you can organize objects, group them, toggle their states, and configure materials.

Displayed Objects

• The objects you create are classified into different sections: "Solids," "Sheets," "Curves," "Meshes," "Images", "Measurements", and "Instances."

Displayed Construction Planes

• Saved construction planes are classified into "Planes" and are listed in the "Added Planes" menu in the right side of the screen.

Organize Objects

• Right-click on a section label ("Solids," "Sheets," "Curves," "Meshes," "Images", "Instances", and "Measurements") and choose "Select all" to select all objects within that section.
• You can reorganize the Outliner by dragging and dropping objects.

Active Collection

• When you double click on a group in the Outliner, you set it as the active collection, where new objects will be placed by default. The active collection is indicated by a highlight color.
• The highlight color of the active collection can be changed in Preferences > Appearance > Supporting Color.
• : Toggle Active Collection

To search in the Outliner

Use the Outliner's search to quickly locate files, groups, or objects by name.

1. Open the search field by clicking the search icon in the Outliner (1), or press Ctrl + F.
2. Type the name of the file, group, or object you want to find.

Toggle Object States

You can toggle the states of objects or groups, such as making them temporarily hidden or visible, disabled or enabled, and locked or unlocked.

Operations in the Outliner

Click on the icons next to objects or groups to change their states. You can also change states in bulk by selecting multiple objects.

• : Toggle hide - Temporarily hides an object from the viewport without affecting how it is processed. The object remains active in the background.
• : Toggle disable - Disables the object entirely, removing it from the viewport and excluding it from processing. This reduces computational load and can be useful when working with complex scenes.
• : Toggle lock - Locks the object to prevent accidental selection or modification.

Operations by shortcut

You can also use shortcuts to change the states of objects or groups.

Operations by Command Name

You can also use commands to change the states of objects or groups.

Material Color

You can assign materials to Solids, Sheets, and Curves. Any material set on a group is automatically applied to every object within that group.

For more details on working with materials, see Set Material and Remove Material.

In the Outliner you can:

• View each object's material color as a colored dot.
• Copy a material's color by dragging its dot onto another dot.
• Set material colors for entire groups, with the same drag and drop copying method.
• Right click an object to open a menu for setting, removing, or forking its material.
• Select multiple objects and apply or clear materials in bulk.
• Assign a material directly by dragging a color dot onto the object in the 3D viewport.
