Is there a way to visually scan the tree - like in V4?

Is there a way to visually scan the tree - like in V4?

(OP)
Hello everyone.  This is my first post and I'm very new to V5 - coming from V4.  On V4, using smart solid, then scan local solids, you can "walk" through the tree and see the individual solids and how they interact to create the final solid.  Is there a way to do that in V5?
Thank you,
Howard

Edit -> Scan or Define In Work Object

Exactly like V4.

Use the Specification Tree.....Shows all the operations and such....

That's not how "scan local solids" was done in V4, and it's not very convenient when you encounter Boolean operations.

Thanx for the reply Solid7.  While it looks similar to the way V4 worked, it was not exactly the same.  I did some digging and found an option under tools/options/ifrastructure/part infra/display/ and checked "only the current operated solid".  Then it looked much better.  Thanks again.  I'll be posting questions more often.
