Use the Objects Tab to colorize, sort, order, and filter objects based on object attributes.
Column Content
- Column 1: Shows the color and visibility.
- Column 2: The default is Object name, but this can be changed to show different content.
- Column 3: The default is Author name, but this can be changed to show different content.
- Column 4: Shows clashes.
Choosing Objects to Display in the Tab
You have several options to decide which objects are shown in the Objects Tab.
There are three different options available through the Show
dropdown.
- All objects: All objects are shown in the Objects Tab, independently of their visibility in 3d view.
- Visible objects: Only the visible objects are shown in the tab. When hiding an object, it will disappear from the tab.
- Objects in view: Only the objects that are actually shown entirely or partially in the current 3D view are found in the Objects Tab.
This means that when navigating the 3D view, the content of the Objects Tab will change accordingly. A red dot can be seen next to the dropdown when navigating, indicating that the object list will be updated. Once the dot disappears, the list is updated.
Any hidden objects will not be listed.
Using the Objects Tab with the 3D View
- The Objects Tab can be used to interact with the model objects shown in the 3D view.
- When objects/object groups are selected in the Objects Tab, objects get also selected in the 3D view.
- When hovering over objects/object groups, objects will be highlighted in the 3D view.
- Right-clicking objects or object groups will select them and open the context menu.
Change Column Content
You can change the column content by right-clicking the column header.
- Load a model in the Trimble Connect for Windows 3D Viewer.
- Open the Model Object's tab.
- Right-click on one of the middle two columns.
