On selection, the bar will display all boards in your design, enclosures and components.

With an item selected, use the context menu for the following options:

  • Toggle Item Visibility - Show or hide this item within the 3D viewer. This does not affect the visibility of the item when output to a STEP file.
  • View Item Extents - Position the view to show the extents of this item. This is useful to help find specific items in a complicated scene.
