The Product Structure offers actions accessible from contextual menus (right-click).

Depending if one occurrence, multiple occurrences or no occurrence is/are selected, the contextual menu is different:

With nothing Selected


Menu option

Description

Keyboard Shortcut

Expand All

Expands all the occurrences of the tree recursively, all at once


WARNING        When the scene contains very large and complex models (thousands of occurrences and millions of triangles), expanding the whole tree might take a long time, depending on the power of your workstation


Collapse All

Folds all the occurrences of the tree, all at once


Show All

Shows all the occurrences of the tree, by setting each occurrence of the tree visibility (or "Visible" property) to "Inherited" value


Create Occurrence(s)

Creates one empty occurrence, child to the "Root" node and with the name defined in the dialog box parameter


With one Occurrence Selected


Menu option

Description

Keyboard Shortcut

Expand All

Expands all the occurrences of the tree recursively (whatever the initial selection: it is not necessary to select the Root node or have no selection at all)


WARNING        When the scene contains very large and complex models (thousands of occurrences and millions of triangles), expanding the whole tree might take a long time, depending on the power of your workstation


Expand Children

Expands all the children occurrences of the occurrence(s) being selected, recursively


WARNING        Expanding a sub-assembly of the tree containing a lot of occurrences (thousands) might take a long time, depending on the power of your workstation


Collapse All

Folds all the occurrences of the tree, all at once


Collapse Children

Folds all the children occurrences of the occurrence(s) being selected, all at once


Add Fast Property

Used to define which occurrence properties can be defined as a Fast Property


Show

Shows the selected occurrences, by setting each selected occurrence visibility (or "Visible" property) to "True" value

S

Show All

Shows all the occurrences of the tree, by setting each occurrence of the tree visibility (or "Visible" property) to "Inherited" value


Hide

Hides the selected occurrences, by setting each selected occurrence visibility (or "Visible" property) to "False" value

H

Invert Visibility

Inverts the selected occurrences visibility (setting the "Visible" property value to "False" or "True" depending on its original visibility)

I

Convert From Z-Up to Y-Up

Rotates the selected occurrence of -90° on the X axis, in order to "convert" a model originally imported with a Z-up orientation (Pixyz Studio is Y-up oriented). Applies a transformation


TIP                This functionality is a shortcut to apply a transformation to the selected occurrence using the "Apply Transform" function, accessible from the Scene Menu or the Function List (F12)


Revert Up Axis Conversion

Rotates the selected occurrence of +90° on the X axis, in order to "revert" a "Convert From Z-up To Y-Up" action


TIP                This functionality is a shortcut to apply a transformation to the selected occurrence using the "Apply Transform" function, accessible from the Scene Menu or the Function List (F12)


Create Occurrence(s)

Creates one empty child occurrence for each occurrence of the selection, with the name defined in the dialog box parameter


NOTE                This functionality is different from the "Create Empty Occurrence" functionality available from the Create Menu, that works for one selected occurrence only


Create Occurrence From Selection

Creates a new occurrence parenting the occurrences being selected, in order to group them


Move Occurrences In Tree

Moves the selected occurrences in the tree by parenting them to the "Destination" occurrence


TIP                This action can be performed interactively from the Product Structure by drag-and-dropping the selected occurrences where desired in the tree


Move Pivot Points...

Used to manage the pivot point of the selected occurrences


Re-Tessellate

Lists functions used to manage re-tessellation capabilities


Export Selection

Exports the selected occurrences to a supported file format


Delete Selection

Deletes the selected occurrences

DEL

Select Ancestor

Selects the first common ancestor of the current selection

PAGE UP

Select Children

Selects the children for each occurrence of the current selection

PAGE DOWN

Select Instances

Selects all the instances of the currently selected occurrence (providing it is instantiated multiple times in the scene)



With Multiple Occurrences Selected


Menu option

WARNING        When the scene contains very large and complex models (thousands of occurrences and millions of triangles), expanding the whole tree might take a long time, depending on the power of your workstation


Expand Children

Expands all the children occurrences of the occurrence(s) being selected, recursively
