The Items card¶

The Items card lists what is in the document. Ctrl+Alt+S shows or hides it.

Origin, Bodies and Sketches are always there. Planes, Datums, Joints and Mechanisms appear once you have one. The list at the top shows only one kind: All items, Bodies, Planes and axes, or Sketches.

Rows¶

1. Click selects a row, Ctrl+click adds one, and Shift+click takes a run.
2. Click a plane under Origin to start a sketch on it.
3. Double-click renames a body or edits a sketch.
4. Right-click a body for Move to, Material, Visibility, Rename and Delete.

Hiding¶

1. Click a row's eye to hide or show it, or drag across several eyes.
2. Alt+click an eye to show only that row, and Alt+click it again to bring the rest back.
3. H hides the selected bodies, and Shift+H shows them all.

A hidden body is left out of any join, cut or intersect, unless the step names it as a target.

Elements¶

An element is a folder for bodies.

1. Right-click the Bodies heading and choose New element.
2. Drag bodies onto the element. Dropping one body onto another puts both in a new element.

Clicking an element selects every body inside it, and its eye hides or shows them all.
