Browsing and Finding Assets

The second step to assembling assets with environments, jobs or scenes in your production is to find the assets you want to associate to the items in the Production List.

When you open the Assembly page, the list of all the assets for your project is displayed in the right area, in a panel labelled Assets List. If you don’t have a lot of assets, you can simply scroll through your assets and find the assets you want to assemble. Otherwise, you can use the extensive set of search and display options to find the right assets.

It is also possible to have several lists of assets in the Assembly page, each one taking a part of the space reserved to the assets list. Each list can have its own unique search filters and display settings.
