Question

Sometimes when double clicking on the errors and warnings it does not zoom in on the solver node referred to. Is there any other way to search for a solver node?

Answer

There are are number of ways to locate solver nodes.

Two methods are provided below;
  • Double left click a Project Workspace > Status pane Error or Warning and the node should be displayed in the Solver scene view with a blue arrow.
  • Using the Home ribbon tab > Project group > Find command

 

Double left click an Error or Warning in the Project Workspace > Status pane

  1. Switch to the Project Workspace > Status pane
  2. Double click the Error or Warning to locate the item in the Scene view.

  1. In the Find input field, type the information you wish to find. i.e. node "122". You could use the Name column to assist in refining the search by typing for example "Node 122" to search for only Node 122
  2. Highlight the item in the list
  3. Click Select

The item is then displayed in the Scene view. Since this is a search for a solver node it automatically opens and switches to the Solver scene view.
