Tree Tools
Tree tools provide a convenient way to expand and collapse the entity tree or the visualization tree and to quickly locate an entity part in the entity tree. These tools, appearing as the buttons shown below, can be found at the top of both the Entities & Monitors tab and the Data Visualization tab.

Expand the Tree
Once its button is clicked, it expands the entire tree – either the entity tree or the visualization tree depending on which tab you are in.
Collapse the Tree
Once its button is clicked, it collapses the entire tree – either the entity tree or the visualization tree depending on which tab you are in.
Locate an Entity Part
When its button is pressed, the selection of an entity part in the viewport will cause the entity tree to :
- expand the branch that the corresponding item of the selected entity part is in, if this part of the tree was not expanded;
- roll to the proper portion so that the corresponding item is visible in the current view;
- highlight the corresponding item in blue (a common behavior for entity selection).
