The Outline Editor lets you
It shows the entire scene hierarchy, including nodes, fields, field values and types, as well as the routes between events. Node names are in boldface type. Field types and field names are in roman type. Routes are shown to the right of fields and events.
When you select an object in the main window, the Outline Editor highlights the parts of the VRML file that define those objects. Clones (multiple instances) of an object are indicated with the notation [N], where N indicates how many instances of a node have been created in the file. Edits to one instance affect all instances of the object. If you select an object that has multiple instances, all are highlighted.
Each node or field has a small arrow to its left. When the arrow on the box points to the right, the information is in its condensed form. When the arrow points down, the information is in its expanded version. Click the arrow next to a node to reveal the fields within that node. Click the field name to reveal the field's values. Each node type has a particular icon that is associated with it.
Some events can be routed to other events. When two events are routed, changing the value of one event automatically changes the values of the events that it is routed to.
