All CAD Entities listed in the Tree can be hidden, shown, or selected using the right-click menu. Like all other Trees, any entity that is selected in the CAD Tree (and is currently 'shown' in the Viewport) will be highlighted.
The search bar allows the user to search for specific CAD Entities that are in the CAD Tree. To the right of the search bar are buttons that can be used to further manipulate the Tree.
-
ALL - Makes all CAD Entities visible.
-
Collapse - Collapses all Tree nodes.
-
Expand nodes - Expands all folders in the Tree.
-
Sync - Finds the CAD entities that are currently selected in the Viewport and highlights them in the corresponding location in the tree (thereby 'syncing' the Tree with the Viewport).
Tip
The CAD Tree can be pinned/collapsed and dragged about the Viewport as needed. As trees are moved, the layout is documented and managed behind the scenes in a configuration file (C:\HyperX\Settings\HyperXDockingLayout.xml). This way your chosen layout can be maintained in each subsequent HyperX session.
To restore the original Tree layout, close all HyperX instances and delete the config file mentioned above.
The buttons below are used to toggle the visibility of specific CAD Entity types.

CAD Entities can be organized into folders (or any number of nested folders) in any scheme the user chooses. The organization of entities will not impact the usability of the entities.
-
Entities or folders can be placed into other folders by dragging and dropping.
-
A new folder can be created with the button at the top-right of the Tree, or from the right-click menu. If entities are selected when the folder is created, they will be placed inside the folder. If a folder is selected during creation, the new folder is placed inside the selected folder.
-
Visibility of all entities in a folder can be toggled by changing the visibility of the folder.
