Filter the Model by Groups#

The Viewer can filter the model by primary and secondary groups in real time. Click on the viewer_groups_small button in the context toolbar to open and close the Groups window.

Filter Groups with the Group Table#

The group table provides an overview of the existing groups and allows you to filter the model by groups and/or FE element types. Use the checkboxes to:

  • Show/hide an entire group.

  • Show/hide specific FE element types within a group.

Right-click on a group to access additional selection options:

  • Check/uncheck/invert a entire row.

  • Isolate a row.

  • Check/uncheck/invert a entire column.

  • Check/uncheck/invert all.

  • Reset to default.

Hint

The default group selection is: all primary groups are selected, and all secondary groups are deselected.

Tip

If any group filtering is active, the Groups button in the context toolbar will switch from viewer_groups_large to viewer_groups_filter_large.

Filter the List of Groups#

The group table may contain many groups. Use the Filter the list of groups to filter the group table entries.

Attention

The right-click menu interacts only with the filtered group entries in the group table. For example, Uncheck all will not apply to groups that are filtered out from the group table.
