Using the tree
Operation modification :
The symbolic tree allows modifying element operations, in the example below, when you perform a left click with the mouse on an operation, the color of the representative edges and faces change.
For the best representation of the elements changed colors, it's recommended to work in shading mode.
When you perform a right mouse button click on an operation, a contextual menu appears allowing you to modify this operation ...
You can interact with several elements at the same time. To do this, hold the "Ctrl" key while selecting the elements you want.
This way, you can for example suppress several operations, or extract several parts from a set in one manipulation.
