3D Editor

Organize objects in the Outliner

Find, rename, group, hide, show, lock, or remove scene items.

Before you start

Open a workspace scene in the 3D Editor.

Who can do this

Members with Editor access. Editing actions depend on your role and the shared view permissions.

Steps

  1. Open the Outliner and search for the object name or expand the scene tree.
  2. Select an item. Open its context menu for the actions available to your role, such as Rename, Hide or Show, Lock or Unlock, and Delete.
  3. Use the Outliner group action when several items should be organized together. Check where the new group appears before moving items into it.
  4. Save after changing the scene structure or object state.

What you should see

The Outliner reflects the changed name, grouping, visibility, or lock state.

If something goes wrong

  • If a lock action asks for a password, use the password set for that lock; a parent lock can also restrict a child.
  • Hiding an item only changes visibility; Delete removes it from the scene.
