The Tree/List options let you choose which way you want to view the contents of the Asset list.
Select Tree to make the Asset list display in a tree hierarchy with check boxes that are either activated or disabled. Select List to make the Asset list for the selected objects display as a list. Unlike the Tree display, the List display only shows selected objects.
| Option | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Check Whole Branches | Select Check Whole Branches to select the item and all its child items when selecting/deselecting something in the Asset list. |
| Find First Checked Child | Select Find First Checked Child if the tree hierarchy is collapsed. It expands the tree to the first selected child item. |
| Find Child by Name | Select Find Child by Name to open the Find Child by Name search window. Enter the name of a specific asset or object in the search window to have MotionBuilder locate it. |
| Expand Branch | Select Expand Branch to completely expand the branch of the item selected. |
| Select Branch | Use the Select Branch option to select all the items included in the item’s hierarchy in the Asset list and in the Viewer window. |
| Select Object | Use the Select Object option to select the object in the Asset list and in the Viewer window. |
If you right-click the Asset list, a contextual menu appears with options for selecting and organizing the Asset list.
