There are different tree icons representing the types of geometry making up
the structure of the model. Each of these item types can be marked as hidden
(gray), unhidden (dark blue) or required (red).
NOTE If a group is marked as hidden or required, then all instances of that group
are marked as hidden or required. If you want to operate on a single occurrence
of an item, then you should mark the instanced group (the level above, or the
“parent”, in the hierarchy) hidden or required.
