from using the Hand tool, select the part in the Model Tree list.

From the Options menu in the top pane of the Model Tree, choose any of the following:
Note: The items that appear on the Options menu depend on whether the 3D model is composed of just one part or
multiple parts. Many of these options are also available by right-clicking a part in the 3D model.
Changes the surface appearance of the entire 3D model according to the item you choose from
Model Render Mode
the submenu: Transparent Bounding Box, Solid, Transparent, Solid Wireframe, and so on.
Displays the entire 3D model.
Show All Parts
Displays all visible parts and centers them in the view.
Fit Visible
Displays the surface area and volume (if available) in the Object Data pane of the Model Tree.
Show Physical Properties
Displays the box that encloses the 3D object or selected parts of the model.
Display Bounding Box
Changes the color of the bounding box. Choose this option, select a color, and then click OK.
Set Bounding Box Color
Displays the model without showing the selected parts. You can also select and deselect check boxes in the top

pane of the Model Tree to hide and show different parts.
Displays only the selected part, hiding all others.
Isolate
Displays the geometry, the Product Manufacturing Information (PMI), and all views (including PMI
Isolate Part
views) for the isolated part only. Views and information for all other parts are hidden or deselected. Changes occur in
the Model Tree as well. In the Structure pane (top), only the isolated part is selected. The structure of the other parts
is available but deselected. The View pane (middle) lists only the views that have been defined for the isolated part,
including PMI views. If you click a view, you see only the PMI for that view in the document pane. (To view the PMI
for the isolated part, make sure 3D PMI is selected in the Structure pane.) The View pane hides views related to the
assembly or other parts, including custom views created in Acrobat. You can add parts to the view by selecting them
in the Model Tree. You can also use the Hide/Show commands in the options menu of the Model Tree. To cancel the
isolated part, do any of the following:
• Select another part with the Isolate Part command.
• Select the top assembly in the Model Tree.
• Select the Home View button.
Changes the center focus from the entire 3D model to the selected parts. This setting is especially useful
Zoom To Part
for rotating a part, allowing the rotation to occur around the center focus of the part rather than around the entire
model.
Displays all of the rendering modes that are available for the part. The rendering mode changes the
Part Render Mode
appearance of the 3D model according to the rendering mode you choose.
