Building a model
Model panel reference
Every group in the Model panel and what it holds.
The Model panel lists entities in collapsible groups with counts. Expand all and Collapse all are in the header, along with undo and redo. Clicking a row selects the entity and opens its form. Selecting something in the viewport opens its group and scrolls to the row.
