Navigating the Project Tree
Flat View
The Project Tree can also be displayed in a flat view mode.
In this mode, the hierarchical parent-child structure is temporarily flattened and all objects are shown on a single level.
This view can be enabled using the flat view icon in the Project Tree header.
Flat view can be useful when working with large projects where objects are deeply nested, allowing users to quickly locate objects without navigating the hierarchy.
Selecting Objects
Objects can be selected directly within the Project Tree.
Selecting an object updates other dynamic views, such as:
Inspector
Artboard
Node Editor
Timeline
Flow Chart
This allows users to quickly inspect and edit objects by simply changing the current selection.
Searching Objects
The Project Tree provides a search field in the header that allows users to quickly locate objects by name.
When entering text into the search field, only objects matching the search query remain visible.
In addition to searching by name, the search field also supports advanced filters.
Filtering by Object Type
Objects can be filtered by their type using the type: keyword.
Examples:
This allows users to display only specific categories of objects within the project.
The object type can be viewed in the Inspector by selecting the object and opening the information panel ( I icon).
Filtering by Path
Objects can also be filtered using their project path.
Example:
This filter displays the specified object as well as all objects contained within its hierarchy.
This can be useful when focusing on a specific section of a large project.
Folder objects have an option in the context menu to auto fill this filter path
Filter Presets
Next to the search field, the Project Tree provides a filter icon containing several predefined filter options.
These filters allow users to quickly display specific subsets of objects.
One commonly used filter option is Subpath, which allows users to focus on root objects and their child structures.
Filters can help simplify navigation when working with large and complex project hierarchies.
Multiple Project Tree Views
Multiple Project Tree views can be opened within the workspace.
Each view displays the same project structure, but different filters can be applied to focus on specific object categories.
This can be useful in larger projects where users may want to view different groups of objects simultaneously.
