Subtitles of the Movie
Let's look at the Display Floater in this movie. So if I go to Tools, Display Floater, my Display Floater shows up. This is a nice little floating window wherein if you're working in a two-monitor setup you can always have this Floater on the second monitor. You can also make a quick Hotkey for that. And the cool thing about this Floater is, it gives you all your Hide, Freeze, Unhide Unfreeze tools, which you can normally access with your right-click menu, or in your Display menu right over here, like the Freeze and the Hide tools. It also gives you, if you go to the Object Level tab, some Hide by Category options, which are pretty much over here, or you have Display Properties right at the bottom. And right now everything is grayed over here and here is because nothing's selected. Because if you remember, the Display Properties is on a per-object level. Plus you can access the Display Properties by right-clicking on the object, going to Object Properties right over here. So, the Display Floater is a really nice little floater window, and I would totally make use of it because it really saves you a lot of time. If you're working, especially, in an Expert Mode, Control X, you can still have this open on your second monitor, or you can just have it on the side and still Hide, Freeze, Unfreeze, Unhide objects, and also go to the Object Level and do a lot of different things.
