Hotkey: Expand All & Collapse All

“It is not well known that you can expand all branches and sub-branches of the model tree in the Model view, rulesets in the Checking view, and results in the Results view by pressing the Ctrl + ► key combination. Likewise, you can collapse all branches by hitting the Ctrl + ◄ key combination.”

Hotkey: Ctrl+Alt+R autorotates model

In 3D view Ctrl+Alt+R autorotates the model. I find it useful for demonstration purposes
Esc or Ctrl+Alt+R again to stop.

Spin mode should be chosen for this shortcut to work.

Tip: Could we have adjustable speed?

@Matti-Kannala it would be nice, if this will work with mouse too: When clicking the triangle with mouse and pressed ctrl-key. At the moment it only works with the keyboar (or am I doing something wrong?)

But thank you for the tip

If you change your classifications (add new ones/make adjustments) on the go while you go through the checking results then you would actually have to re-run checking to continue with your work on other results which are as a consequence normally greyed out …

Except, and here comes the trick, if you save, close an re-open the model again - you might save yourself some time as you can keep on where you stopped without a mandatory re-check to even view (the outdated) results.

Automatic presentation

You can go through all your issue slides in presentation automatically by pressing play button, and also you can control how fast the presentation should play (with a right mouse button).

Select the slide that you want your presentation to start from. Press play.

Layout Switching F1-F12 Hotkeys

You can go through up to 12 different layouts with hotkeys: F1-F12

F1 - always File Layout (it’s a non customizable layout)
F2-F11 - user layouts
F12 - always Ruleset Manager Layout (click F12 again to go back to the layout you came from)
