# Accessing Scene Elements

Strings specify an element by giving its path from the scene root. In general, you can see the path in the explorer by setting it to display All Nodes (Scripting).

The special characters like wildcards work only within strings in scripting commands; they do not work with object model statements. For more information about referencing scene elements in general, see Modeling.
