Objects palette

You can move elements more quickly in drawing files while the Objects palette is open.
When working on complex projects, you can cancel the selection of objects much more quickly by means of the Objects palette.
You can select empty drawing files in the Objects palette. For example, this is useful when you want to move objects to another drawing file.
Sort by attribute:
If the Sort by attribute criterion comes first, you can see the total wall plus the wall layers.
In addition, you can sort walls by the Style name attribute. When you use the Style name attribute, you can see only the total wall; the wall layers are not visible.
Some 3D objects (for example, SmartParts for opening elements) could not be made transparent in earlier versions. When you made a component (for example, a wall) transparent and this component contained such objects (for example, SmartParts for opening elements), these objects became invisible.
You can manually turn the transparency of SmartParts and PythonParts on and off. This means that you can change the transparency of these objects from 0% to 100% and vice versa.
You can also select different degrees of transparency for surfaces.
Note: These settings apply to the animation view type only.
