Simple Modeling

Simple modeling is a built-in tool that allocates pallet bench, pallet, work piece, and other objects in Arm 3D view.

The Model tree window presents a hierarchical display of the objects in the Arm 3D view.

The top node is Root, which starts out with the following predefined nodes.

Nodes are virtual items to combine multiple objects and name them.
