This menu is the same as its counterpart in the Outliner.

Select Clear Below to turn off all filters.

Attributes

If Display > Attributes (Channels) is on, you can select which attribute types to show in the Outliner. Select Clear Below to turn off all filters.

All Transform (Scale, Rotate, and Translate) attributes.

Invert Shown

Reverses the filters you have selected in the Objects submenu so that visible objects are hidden, and hidden objects are visible.

Show All

Turns off all filters in the Show menu.

Show Selected Type(s)

Shows only object types of the same type as the current selection. This option lets you create a filter that limits the types of objects and attributes displayed in the Outliner to the same type of object or attribute as the current selection.

For example, if you select an object’s Translate X, Y, and Z attributes in the Outliner, then select Show Selected Type(s), all non-translation attributes will be filtered and only translation attributes will appear in the Outliner. The Show Selected Type(s) filter remains active until you select another Show menu option (such as Show All).

Select Attributes

Opens the Select Attributes window, which lets you filter which attributes display for a selected object.

The Select Attributes window displays a grid of check boxes for the Translate, Rotate, and Scale XYZ attributes, as well as a list of any other attributes for the selected object. Use these check boxes to turn the display of each attribute on and off. (For example, see Filter curve display in the Graph Editor.)

Create Entry

Lets you save and name the current Show menu filter.

Create Entry is available only when the objects and attributes displayed in the Outliner have been filtered by the Show Selected Type(s) menu option.

Delete Entry

Lets you delete a saved Show menu filter.

Show Auxiliary Nodes

Shows node types that the Outliner normally does not show because they are rarely needed (such as underworld nodes).

Auxiliary Nodes

Lets you set which nodes are considered “auxiliary”.

You can customize which nodes are hidden to reduce clutter in the editors. Generally, these are nodes that are not normally useful to see or edit. Select this option to display the Auxiliary Nodes editor and customize the node types that are hidden in editors. See Auxiliary Nodes for more information.
