Changes

'''Parts provides ''' provide a kind of grouping system for Model and [[Documentation/Tools/SCS_Blender_Tools/Locators|Locator ]] objects. It is They are usually used for in defining of [[Documentation/Tools/SCS_Blender_Tools/Variant_system|Variants (see the chapter “Variant System” below) and also ]] but, in [[#predefined_part_names|special cases]], when we need they are also used to define a part parts of the geometry, that has to have a different treating then will be treated differently than the rest of the model (see the chapter “Predefined Part Names”).

Every object in a scene belongs to some Part. Even in case cases when we don't need to use Parts, there is always a Part name assigned to every object in a scene. The default name is “defaultpart”, but it can be changed any time. If the active object is not parented to any [[Documentation/Tools/SCS_Blender_Tools/Terminology_and_basics#SCS_Root_Object|SCS Root Object]], then it is not possible to set the Part name for such that object. [[File:SCS_Tools_Object_Specials_-_Parts_05.png]]

[[Image:SCS_Tools_Object_Specials_-_Parts_05.png|right]]There is a '''Part list is held on every List''' for each SCS Root Object and it which contains all the Part names, which are used within this its respective SCS Game Object.

You can {{Blender_Button|[[File:Blend_icon_zoomin.png]]}} '''''Add''''' or {{Blender_Button|[[File:Blend_icon_zoomout.png]]}} '''''Remove''''' names from the Part list using the buttons on the right side of the list. The lowest button here is a {{Blender_Button|[[File:Blend_icon_file_refresh.png]]}} '''''Remove Unused''''' button, which will automatically remove any unused Part names. To '''''Rename''''' the existing Part just double click the item in the list and type a new name.

There are also some additional tools integrated for each item in the Part list and which can be used for easy selection/deselection (arrow icon[[File:Blend_icon_restrict_select_off.png]]) or hiding/showing (eye icon[[File:Blend_icon_restrict_view_off.png]]) of particular Parts. It works like a switches, so if it is pressed repeatedly it will select and deselect or hide and show all the Part items. With '''''{{Key_press|Shift''''' }} pressed it will always add to the existing selection or always show the Part items and with '''''{{Key_press|Ctrl''''' }} it will always subtract from existing selection or always hide the Part items.

=== Item-selection tools ===

{{Blender_Button|Assign}} Assigns currently selected Part name to selected object(s). For multiple selections, all selected objects must belong to the same SCS Root Object. {{Blender_Button|Select}} Selects all Models, Model Locators and Collision Locators within active SCS Game Object which uses the same Part name. {{Blender_Button|Deselect}} Deselects all Models, Model Locators and Collision Locators within active SCS Game Object which uses the same Part name. === Assign =Predefined Part Names ==

Assigns currently selected Part name Some special behaviors are applied in-game to active Parts with certain predefined names, based on the type of object.

=== Select Trucks ===There are currently no predefined part names used for trucks.
