Its window will not block the cursor's focus, so you can put it aside and continue to work as usual with the help of the "Scene Sorter" tool. This tool allows you to group your nodes in the way you like, without parenting one node to another or creating a group of nodes in the scene. You can then select all the nodes from one group with just one click, without scrolling and searching for each node in the scene tab. You can click on any node from your groups and that node will be instantly found and selected in the scene. Some nodes (like strand-based hair props) can't be parented to a figure and therefore are sometimes difficult to find in the scene tab, but with this tool, they can be grouped with their figure and found and selected with one click. This tool is also convenient for grouping bones or parented props that are nested deep inside the hierarchy of another node (like fingers or the top bones of a tentacle). Now you can group all your lights, all female or male figures, all clothes and accessories, all furniture or other props, and easily find them whenever you need to manipulate them. You can name your groups and add to them any number of nodes, without affecting the actual nodes in the scene. If you remove some nodes from the scene, just click the "refresh groups" button and those nodes will be removed from all of your groups. You can remove the nodes from your groups or remove a complete group without affecting the nodes in the scene. One node can be added to multiple groups as well. "Scene Sorter" is designed to save your time and make it easy for you to work on large scenes with a large number of nodes. This tool is designed for all DazStudio users, it's very simple and easy to use, even if you don't have too much experience! How To Use: - Click on the "Scene Sorter" icon. - The "Scene Sorter" window will appear. In this window you will see: - "NEW GROUP" button - click this button to create a new group. - Below the "NEW GROUP" button you will find a dropdown menu, there you can see all the nodes that are currently in your scene, select a node from this menu. - Created groups will appear under this menu. - Each group will have a header with three buttons and a line to write a custom name for that group. - "SELECT COMPLETE" button - click to select all of the nodes from this group in the scene. - "REMOVE COMPLETE" button - click to remove this complete group. Removing the group will not affect the actual nodes in the scene. - "ADD TO GROUP" button - when you select a node from the dropdown menu above, click this button to add it to this group. You can add the same node to multiple groups. - Below the "ADD TO GROUP" button is a text edit line (Change Group Name) where you can write a custom name for this group. - Below the group name, your added nodes will appear. Clicking on any node will find and select that node in the scene, the selection will be performed without the deselection of already selected nodes (like selecting with the CTRL button pressed). - On the right side of the added node you will see the "X" button - click this to remove that node from the group. Removing the node from the group will not affect the actual node in the scene. - At the bottom of the window you can find the "REFRESH GROUPS" button - if you delete some nodes from your scene, click this button to remove these nodes from all of the groups. - Basic information about each element in the window is provided by clicking on "?" (What's This?) and then on these elements. This button is in the lower-left corner of the window.
