Setting the Display Options

To help manage the complex hierarchies within your project, you might want to set the display of the Project Explorer a certain way so that you can quickly find a particular project element when you need it. For example, you might want to automatically collapse every grouping so that you can navigate more easily in the Actor-Mixer Hierarchy.

To change the Project Explorer display:

In any tab of the Project Explorer, right-click an object.

The shortcut menu is displayed.
From the shortcut menu, select Expand Options.

The Expand Options submenu is displayed.
Select one of the following options:
- Expand Descendants to expand all objects in the hierarchy.
- Collapse Descendants to collapse all objects in the hierarchy.

You can also use the following keyboard shortcuts to quickly navigate through the different levels in the Project Explorer.

Keyboard Shortcut	To
Up arrow	Move up within the object list.
Down arrow	Move down within the object list.
Right arrow or number pad's plus	Expand an object.
Left arrow or number pad's minus	Collapse an object.
Number pad's slash	Collapse all node levels of an object.
Number pad's asterisk	Expand all node levels of an object.
