Hide/show groups of objects using the Organizer

The Organizer lets you place objects into groups (folders) so that you can hide or show them more easily without needing to select them every time. This is useful for keeping objects together in groups as you edit a scene.

To use the Organizer, select Scene > Organizer (or press the O key).

For more information, see The Organizer.

Hide/show object alternatives

Alternatives let you compare and contrast variations for parts of your scene. An alternative lineup is a collection of one or more alternatives. For example, your scene could contain a lineup for various hubcap alternatives, another lineup for various color studies, and so on.

• Press A to set up and view alternative lineups.
