The Scenegraph shows all the nodes of a scene, organized in a tree structure. Imported files are highlighted in green. The root node is at the top of the structure and is a parent to all other nodes in the scene. The root node is a group node and cannot be deleted, renamed, or otherwise edited.
Use the Search box at the top of the Scenegraph to find nodes. Regular expressions are supported.
