### 10.2.1. Tree View and Details View

As with DesignModeler features, the primary user control of the new blade geometry features is through the tree view and details view. The tree view shows the features in the current model, and provides mechanisms for inserting, editing, and deleting features. The tree view also shows the order of operations in which DesignModeler will generate the model (top to bottom), and the feature dependencies. Figure 10.1: Tree View shows an example of the tree view diagram with the sketches (`HubContour1`, `ShroudContour1`, and so on), FlowPath (`FlowPath1`), and Blade (`Blade1`) features for two blade rows.

You might want to temporarily suppress various features to speed up the regeneration time. This can be managed in DesignModeler by right-clicking the feature in the tree view and selecting “Suppress”. Note that suppressing a feature also suppresses all dependent features below it. Sketches cannot be suppressed; they can only be hidden or deleted.

When you click a contour sketch in the tree view, the sketch will be highlighted in the 3D viewer. When you click a camberline definition, the corresponding FlowPath layer contour will be highlighted in the 3D viewer, and the angle and thickness views will be displayed for this definition. Any changes made to the sketches or camberline definitions will be immediate. However, updates to the dependent FlowPath or Blade features will happen only when you subsequently click the “Generate” button.
