Creating Node-Sets

If there is a particular set of nodes that you work with frequently, you can select them all and give them a name, creating a node-set.  At any time during your work you can select this set quickly by pressing the ctrl+shift+s buttons simultaneously, and entering the name.

There are two ways node-sets are created:

1. By User:  Select the node(s) you want in a particular node-set, choose Modify Set NodeSet New, (the shortcut key for this is ctrl+shift+n) and enter the name of the new set.  Node-set names must follow the rules of an IDname.  After a node-set is set, you can later add or remove nodes from it.

2. Built-In:  Automatically built-in definition, based on intrinsic qualities of the nodes.  These nodes are denoted with a dash in front of the name (e.g. –ConstantValue).

The following is a list of the built-in node-sets, in order of their priority for coloring (Likelihood Finding highest priority, Finding second priority etc.)

Note:  Some of these node-sets won’t always appear in the NodeSet Properties dialog box.  To access them, choose Modify Set  NodeSet New, and type in a name from the above list (remembering to begin the name with a dash).
