   Step-by-step instructions

  • These instructions show you how to show members using the context menu . Be aware that there are alternative ways, other than the context menu, to invoke Show Members .
  • Before using this tool, look at the Model Tree . If " View By " is set to ' Member Piecemark ' and members are hidden, the Model Tree lists members that are hidden -- in your current view -- under a category named " Hidden Members ."
1 . Right-click and choose " Show Members " on the context menu or invoke Show Members in some other way.

2 . Members that were hidden in your current view using Hide Members or Hide Unselected Members are now shown. Members in the Model Tree that were under the category " Hidden Members " are moved to other categories (such as " Beams ") since those members are no longer hidden.

Note 1: If you Open ( Ctrl + o ) a different view, the members you caused to be shown in your current view will also be shown in the view you open.

Note 2: After Show Members in your current view, if you Open ( Ctrl + o ) a different view, you may still find -- for example, by looking at the Model Tree -- that members remain hidden in that other view. Those members may still be hidden because they were not in the view in which you did the Show Members . Also, the Model Tree's " Hidden Members " list may include members that are hidden using Display Options , and those members can only be shown by using Display Options .
