Model Tree overview
The Model Tree appears in the navigation pane on the left side of the work area. You can also open the Model Tree
by clicking the Toggle Model Tree button
and choosing Show Model Tree.
The Model Tree has three panes, each of which displays a specific type of information or controls.
The topmost pane shows the tree structure of the 3D object. For example, a 3D object depicting a
Structure pane
car may have separate groups of objects (called nodes) for the chassis, engine, and wheels. In this pane, you can move
through the hierarchy and select, isolate, or hide various parts.
Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) appears as a group of items on the same hierarchical level as its related
object or assembly.
The middle pane lists the defined views, which you can add to and edit. For example, after you isolate
View pane
and rotate a part, you can save that particular view. After making other transformations, you can simply click the
view you created to return the 3D model to the view that you saved earlier. See "Set 3D views" on page 410.
The lower pane displays other information, including properties and metadata, if any, about the
Object Data pane
object or part. You cannot edit this information for 3D objects in Acrobat.
