The Schematic View is a node-based scene
graph that gives you access to object properties,
mate rials, controllers, modifiers, hierarchy, and
non-visible scene relationships such as wired
parameters and instancing.
Here,youcanview,create,andeditrelationships
between objects. You can create hierarchies, assign
controllers, materials, modifiers, or constraints.
You can use the Schematic View Display flo ater
to control what entities and relationships you
want to see and work with. Use Schematic View
to navigate complex hierarchies or scenes with
large numbers of objects. Use Schematic View to
understand and explore the structure of files you
didn’t create yourself.
One powerful feature is the list view. You can

extremely complex scenes quickly. You can use the
relationship or instance viewer within Schematic
View to see light inclusions or parameter wirings
