6. And There's Outliner

It necessitates dutifully naming groups and components to be really useful, but some people use Outliner more than Layers to control model visibility.

• • Many context menu tools are available for each item - like Hide

  • You can rearrange group/component nesting

  • You can find any named component/group by typing in the first few letters of the name in the little browser window - if you remember the name. So think about creating a naming system.
