Files View

The Files View displays all of the loaded model files in the upper portion of the browser and the properties assigned to the currently selected model file in the Entity Editor in the lower half of the browser.

This view allows you to change the visibility of the models. In addition, you can use the context menu in this view to do the following:

Delete models.
Rename models.
Change the current model.
Show/Hide/Isolate/Isolate Only.
View the model status on the current model or on the marked model file.

You can sort the models by clicking on the heading of each column. Click the Entities heading to sort alphabetically by name, or click the ID heading to sort numerically by entity ID, etc. Repeated clicks on the column heading will toggle between ascending and descending order.
