Navigation Tips & Best Practices

Maintain a tidy Scene Tree – prefix related parts (“Bolt_”, “Hull_”) and use Sort by Name to group them.

Watch your selection type – many tools (e.g., Mesh Repair vs. Points commands) run only on specific object types; double-check the Scene Tree highlight before you click.

Use Apply Transform after major moves or scales – baking keeps object scale at 1 × 1 × 1 and avoids export issues.

Switch between Orthographic and Perspective views – ortho for precise edits, perspective for realistic checks.

Leverage Opacity – lower it when you need to inspect interior geometry without hiding outer shells.

Group objects logically – then clone or merge entire subtrees with one command.
