Using the Assembly Model Tree
A graphical, hierarchical representation of the assembly is shown in the Model Tree window. The nodes of the Model Tree represent the subassemblies, parts and features that make up an assembly. Icons, or glyphs, provide additional information. You can expand or compress the tree display by clicking on the triangle next to the name of the component.
The Model Tree can be used as a selection tool, allowing objects to be quickly identified and selected for various component and feature operations. In addition, system-defined information columns can be used to display information about components and features in the Model Tree.
The right-click shortcut menu on an item in the Model Tree provides direct access to operations applicable to the current selection.
