The Search textbox allows you to search for objects in your model. The visibility tree hierarchy is automatically expanded to highlight objects that are being searched for. Additionally, any object you select in your 3D View is also selected in the Visibility Override Hierarchy. Options appear next to each entry in the Visisbility Override. These options allow you to navigate the visibility override hiearchy and control the visibility of objects.

Temporary Visibility Settings

Learn how to use temporary visibility settings to control visibilty in the project.

Temporary Visibilty Settings allow the user to hide objects from thier model without changing the visiblity settings. Normally, visibility settings are saved to Saved Views and Flythrough Nodes and will be updated and changed when one of these is activated. A temporary Visibility Setting is not affected by selecting a Flythrough Node or a Saved View. Without editing a flythrough video a user can use a Temporary Visibility Setting to quickly rerender excluding some of the objects from the video.
