The network tree is an interactive tool for browsing the network and volume hierarchy. It works in conjunction with the main
view area to show clips as thumbnails or in a list view.
To browse the network:
- Click any host item in the network tree to display its volumes. While multiple volumes can be present, typically a host has
just one volume — stonefs, for example.
Icons representing the volumes appear in the main view area, when in thumbnail mode.
NoteWhen you expand an item in the network tree an animated cursor indicates that a metadata transaction is taking place. Depending
on the complexity of the tree, this can take some time.
- Click a volume in the network tree to display its projects.
Icons for the projects appear in the main view area.
- Click collapsed items to further expand the network tree.
- The data structure hierarchy is exactly what you would find browsing a clip library in any Autodesk Visual Effects and Finishing
workstation.
- Once an item is expanded, you can collapse it again by clicking its expand/collapse arrow.
- To switch between expanded items, click the item of interest. This changes the focus without collapsing the deselected item.
- To expand all an item’s selection at once, from the Selection menu, choose Expand Children.
- To refresh the view, choose either Refresh All or Refresh Selection.
