Browsing the Scene Catalog 

 

This task shows you how to browse the Scene catalog and instantiate its components. 

Would you need further information about catalogs (creation, preview, query, and so on), please refer to the Version 5 - Component Catalog Editor User's Guide.

 

This default catalog is located under:

downloaddirectory/OS/startup/components/Rendering/Scene.catalog

where "OS" is the operating system, for example intel_a (on Windows).

Open the SaltnPepper.CATProduct document.
  1. Open the Catalog Browser dialog box by clicking Catalog Browser . The Scene.catalog opens:

  2. Double-click a family from the list to display its components.

  3. Click the selected component to see its preview as shown below:

  4. Click Table>> to show/hide the catalog descriptions and keywords. By default, the table is hidden.

    • The button lets you perform a query using a filter.
    • The button lets you perform a query on multiple levels in your catalog.
    For detailed information on these two capabilities, refer to the "Making a Smart Query in a Catalog" in the Version 5 - Component Catalog Editor User's Guide.
  5. Instantiate the desired element by double-clicking it. 

    Then you just have to adapt the instantiated element to your product:
    Deskroom scene instantiation


You can also select Copy > Paste or drag and drop the element directly onto the product in the specification tree.
