World Explorer


Use the World Explorer to select any object in your World. You can also use it to rename objects or edit parameters. The World Explorer presents a hierarchical list of all the components in your World including objects, sensors, reactions, constraints, animation and so on.

The icons make it easy to identify the different types of objects. For example, a green
circle ( ) next to a parameter indicates that it can be edited or animated, an orange circle ( ) indicates that it cannot.

The Resources bank at the bottom of the World Explorer lists all the intelligent effects associated with the objects in your World.


To expand or collapse items in the World Explorer:

Click the plus sign (+) next to an item to expand it; click the minus (-) sign to collapse it. You can also double-click an item to expand or collapse it.

To edit a parameter or rename an object in the World Explorer:
  1. Click the parameter or object's name twice.
  2. The first time you click it, it is selected; the second time, it becomes a highlighted text box that you can edit.

  3. Type a new value or name and press Enter.
To select an item in the World Explorer:

Click the item.

Tip: To avoid accidentally renaming items or changing values in the World Explorer, use the icons to select or expand objects, and use the names to rename objects or change values.
