After importing data, double-click the Construction folder in the browser to enter the construction environment.

To return to the part environment, right-click the Construction folder, and select Finish Construction.

Add new group

Right-click in the graphics window or in the browse, and select Define New Group.

If you specify a group name that is already in use when opening and translating a file, the data is placed in the exiting group name.

Open a file that contains more than one group, such as a file where data has previously been imported into the construction environment.
Right-click a group or subgroup name, and select Move to Group.
Click the destination group.

All data is moved to the new group. If you moved all data in a folder, such as a surfaces subfolder, an empty group remains.

Open a file with more than one group, such as a file where data has been previously imported into the construction environment.
Right-click a group or subgroup, and select Delete.

You can delete surfaces, wires, or solids in the graphics window. Groups in the browser update with the new totals.

Slowly double-click the group name, and enter a different name.

You can turn visibility off and on:

On the View tab Visibility panel Object Visibility . On the menu, select or clear the check mark on Group Solids, Group Surfaces, Group Wires, or Group Diagnostics.
Right-click a group or subgroup in the browser, and select or clear the check mark on Visibility.

Once you analyze data with the Quality Check command, you can hide data without errors to help isolate and repair the data. Use one of these methods:

To hide browser entries, click the Filter icon on the browser bar, and select Show Groups with Diagnostics. All groups without diagnostic data are hidden.
Right-click the group with the diagnostics data, and select Move to Group. Click the destination group. Turn off visibility of groups without diagnostics data.
