When working with a large project, the list of models can become extensive, making it challenging to locate a specific model. Fortunately, there is a simple method to streamline this process by using a combination of mouse hover and keyboard input.

Steps to Use the Hover + Type Shortcut

  1. Hover Over the + or – Button: Move your mouse cursor over the “+” or “–” button next to the model list in your project interface.
  2. Press the First Letter of the Model Name: While hovering, press the letter on your keyboard that corresponds to the first letter of the model name you are looking for.
  3. View the Filtered List: A filtered list will appear, showing only the models that start with the letter you typed. This makes it significantly easier to find and select the desired model.

Example

If you’re searching for a model named “Stormwater”:

  • Hover over the “+” button.
  • Press the letter S on your keyboard.
  • A shortlist will display only the models starting with “S”, helping you quickly locate “Stormwater”.

Tip

This technique works for both adding (+) and removing (–) models, enhancing your efficiency when managing large projects.

By utilising this handy shortcut, you can save time and reduce frustration when navigating through long model lists.
