Filtering the Model Builder Tree
At the top of the Model Builder window, a text field for a filter text is available. Type any text into that field to filter the model tree so that only nodes that match the filter are displayed. The matching is not case sensitive. Such a filter can make it easier for you to find a node in a large model tree. Any new node that you add to the model or any action that selects a node makes that node visible even if it does not match the filtering.
Click the cross to the right in the text field or press Escape to clear the filtering, returning the model tree to its normal state. To the right of the text field there is a Refresh button (), which refreshes the filtering by hiding any nodes that no longer match the filter.
When the focus is in the Model Builder window or the Settings window, press Ctrl+L to move the focus to the text field for the filter text.
Use the options on the Filter Options menu () to the right in the Model Builder window toolbar to control these parts of the model tree filtering:
•
Select Show Children () to also display the subnodes to the nodes that match the filter.
•
Select Contains Word () to change the filter to only match exact words.
•
The Show Filter Text Field () option is selected by default. Clear it to hide the text field for the filter text.
