Edit Trees Panel (3D)

See Editing trees (3D) for detailed instructions

You can edit entire trees or individual points on a tree.

To view more options in the panel, select trees first (click the Select All button or click a tree model).

 

Select All

Click the button to select all the traced trees.

 

Hide/Show

Select a tree then click the Hide selection button to hide it.

You can show the tree again later by clicking the Show selection, or the Show all hidden button if you've hidden multiple trees.

 

Points

Click the button to view the trees displayed as a series of points.

The Points mode enables Detach at a specific point, Connect and Directionality.

You can move and delete points, and adjust a point's thickness.

 

Detach

Click the button to enable the Detach mode. If you also click Points, you'll be able to detach with more precision.

Click a tree to detach.

• If you click somewhere on a single branch, the tree is split in two.
• If you click the site of a bifurcation, the tree is split in three

When you're done detaching, make sure you click Detach again to disable it.

 

Connect

Click the button to display trees as series of points and enable the Connect mode.

Click and drag an end point toward the area you want to connect to. The end point briefly turns green and a green line appears. Release the mouse button to connect the branches.

 

Type

Use to assign tree types, which is useful for later analysis in Neurolucida Explorer.

Select a tree then select a type from the Type drop-down menu.

 

Tree color

To change the color, select a tree then click the arrow near the colored square to access the Color menu.

Transparency

Select a tree then drag the Transparency slider.

If you want a tree to be entirely invisible, use the Hide selection button instead of changing the transparency. If you set transparency to its maximum value, you won't be able to select that tree again later.

 

Thickness

You may change the thickness of an entire tree or the thickness at a single point (or a group of points).

For a single point, click the Points button, clik a point in the model to select it, then drag the slider.
