Filter icon?

Hi there,

Accidentally, I found out that one can enable a (I guess) filter icon in the objects and types panel by clicking with ctrl key pressed down.



Unfortunately, I have absolutely no clue how to use it. Can you please elaborate?

Hi 3image, check out the Scene Browser topic in the reference section of the help file for some details on the selection filter:

It can help if you're having difficulty making a selection because of a lot of other things in the way. When you activate a selection filter only objects that match that filter will be targeted for any kind of selection action. So say you want to do a window selection but only have the red curves that are inside the window to be targeted for selection. You can make that happen if you set a filter on Style = Red, and another filter on Type = Curve. Then while those filters are active anything other than red curves will be ignored when you do selections.

There are some more details in the help topic.
