Manage Your Autodesk® Navisworks® Model Tree Nodes Like a Pro.

Select Parents, Siblings, Children, and Leaf Nodes in Batches

This tool provides simple and intuitive ways to handle hundreds of model tree nodes—not one by one, but in batches across multiple branches of the model tree.

• Select Parent Nodes – Choose the parent of each selected node.
• Select Sibling Nodes – Highlight all nodes on the same hierarchical level.
• Select Leaf Nodes – Pick nodes that represent actual visible geometry (a leaf node has no children).
• Select Child Nodes Recursively – Include every child of the selected node, all the way down to the leaf nodes.

Why Use This Tool?

Often, when you select nodes in the model viewer, they are just leaf nodes in the Model Tree. To work efficiently, you may need to:

1. Select their parent (or grandparent) node.
2. Then choose all similar nodes at the same hierarchy level.
3. Repeat this across multiple branches.

With this tool, you can do it in just a few clicks—no more manual selection, one by one.

Use Case: SearchSets & Deep Hierarchy Navigation

If you use SearchSets and find multiple nodes, but you actually need their children (or even deeper descendants), this tool lets you drill down the hierarchy—instantly.

For models with complex tree structures, this tool is extremely useful. It provides simple yet powerful ways to navigate nodes—not individually, but in batches across multiple branches simultaneously.
