2- Scene Browser

Scene-Browser.pngScene Browser lists all elements in the scene and shows a clear tree structure of the model, where you can view parent / child relationships.

When selecting a parent in the Scene Browser and hide it or delete, the effect is automatically applied to all its children so they are automatically hidden or deleted.

Scene Browser allows using Shift or Ctrl to select many items in the object browser.

Changing parent / child relation ship in Scene Browser can be done easily by dragging an object or group off objects and dropping them in a new parent 

+/- buttons on top of the Scene Browser allows expanding all level in the tree (+ button) , or closing all and keeping just the top level (- button)

 

Environment on top of the tree, unlike other elements, environment always exists and you can not delete it. When you click on Environment in the Scene browser, Properties Panel is updated to show the properties on the environment, which allows you to make many changes to the environment.
