+Object browser contains all documents created in the current study. \r
\r
Each document includes standard branches where created objects are placed.\r
\r
- Constructions;\r
- Results.\r
\r

+Features are placed one after another in the active document with default names and their results are placed into the corresponding branch.\r
+\r
+Not defaullt branch is added into Tree View when the first feature of this type is created.\r
+\r
+Note, that result used in feature as argument is removed from Tree View.\r
+\r
+This child result can be restored using Recover Feature.\r
\r
Each feature, result, construction, group, field, parameter can be renamed using *Rename* pop-up menu command.\r

SHAPER preferences\r
------------------\r
\r
+Description of General application preferences and **Preferences** dialog box is provided in GUI module user's guide in chapter **Setting Preferences**.\r
+\r
SHAPER preferences define visualization of objects, visualization during selection, edition. New preferences can be used right after modification or later after activation of SHAPER module.\r
\r
To call **Preferences** dialog box:\r
- :ref:`plugins_preferences`;\r
- :ref:`sketch_preferences`;\r
- :ref:`viewer_preferences`.\r
+\r
+Visualization tab is activated by default when **Preferences** dialog box is opened in active SHAPER module.\r
+\r
+Other tabs are activated by clck on tab header.\r
