The “Tree” is the Akeytsu's scene explorer. It displays a tree-view of 3D objects and nodes contained in the current scene. You may expand or collapse object hierarchies by clicking on the () and () icons.

Tree auto-enlarge width feature

The Tree is a special dialog having the ability to auto-enlarge its window. By default, moving your mouse cursor above the Tree auto-enlarges by 2 its width. Moving your mouse cursor outside the window will shrink the Tree to its original width. You can adjust width factor into the Tree preferences (access via cogwheel).

The Del key works only for the Tree

Please have in mind that the standard Del key always deletes items selected in the Tree. To delete specific elements, please refer to the Delete buttons of the corresponding window.
