Show or hide nodes

To...	Do this
Expand or collapse hierarchy under a node.	In the Outliner, click the plus or minus icon to the left of the node name. In the Hypergraph, double-click the node.
Show auxillary node types.	In an editor, select Show > Show Auxiliary Nodes.
Control which node types are hidden as auxillary.	In an editor, select Show > Auxiliary Nodes. To remove a node from the hidden list, click it in the top list and click Remove From List. To add a node to the hidden list, click it in the bottom list and click Add to Hide List (Above).
Show or hide shape nodes in the Hypergraph.	In the Hypergraph, select Options > Display > Shape Nodes.
Show or hide hidden nodes in the Hypergraph.	In the Hypergraph, select Options > Display > Hidden Nodes.
Show or hide underworld nodes in the Hypergraph.	In the Hypergraph, select Options > Display > Underworld Nodes. Underworld nodes are only visible if shape nodes are also visible.

Note: It is possible to export selected, connected nodes. Even if the construction history input option (History) is off, then the selected nodes maintain their historical node attribute connections. In some cases, hidden or unselected auxiliary node(s) may break those node connections. For this specific workflow, it is recommended that you enable the display of Auxiliary nodes in the editor Show menu to ensure they are included in the selection before exporting. See also Export All/Export Selected Options.
