51). This window is accessed
through the Tools ??” New Scene Explorer and is an expanded version of the dialog opened
with the Select by Name icon in the 3ds Max toolbar as discussed earlier in the chapter.
Scene Explorer allows you to view the objects in your scene by name, as well as sort or filter
them by type, view and edit their hierarchies, and generally manage the objects in your
scene. Through the Scene Explorer you can rename, delete, hide, freeze, and edit some
object properties en masse.

Two primary uses of the Scene Explorer are to select objects and edit their hierarchies.
To select objects in your scene in Scene Explorer, enable Sync Selection by clicking its icon
in the Scene Explorer toolbar, as shown in Figure 3.51. While it is enabled, if you select an
object in your scene through a viewport, it is simultaneously selected in the Scene Explorer
and vice versa.
