Manage scene content information

Different entity types have different levels of information associated with them. You can select how much of this information is displayed in each of the different scene views and view regimes. Scene content selections are saved independently with each scene view.

For example, in a Solver View regime, it is generally sufficient to represent beams by their insertion lines. However, in a Structural View regime, you are likely to also include their geometric outlines. In either of the views, you may also choose to display their direction arrows and possibly their reference texts also.
