||Welcome to the series of '''Blender tutorials'''.  

||This tutorial is about the '''Outliner window''' in '''Blender 2.59'''.  

||This script has been contributed by Sneha Deorukhkar and Bhanu Prakash and edited by Monisha Banerjee.

||After watching this tutorial, we shall learn:

||what is the '''Outliner window''';  

|| what are the '''Eye, arrow''' and '''camera icons''' in the '''Outliner window''' and

|| what is the '''display menu''' in the Outliner window.

||I assume that you know the basic elements of the '''Blender interface'''.

||If not, then please refer to our earlier tutorial - '''Basic Description of the Blender Interface'''.  

||The '''Outliner''' is a '''flowchart''' list of '''data''' in Blender.  

||By default, it is present at the top right corner of the 'Blender Interface'.  

||Let us '''resize''' the Outliner window.

||Left-click the bottom edge and drag it down.  

||Left-click the left edge and drag it to the left.  

||We can see the options in the 'Outliner window' more clearly now.  

||To learn how to resize the Blender windows, see our tutorial-

||'''How to Change Window Types in Blender'''.

||Left click ''' View''' .  

||Here are various options like-

|| '''Show Restriction Columns''',  

|| '''Show Active''',  

|| '''Show or Hide One level''',  

|| '''Show Hierarchy''',  

|| '''Duplicate area into New window''' and * '''Toggle full screen'''.  

||Deactivate '''Show Restriction Columns'''.  

||This hides all the viewable, selectable and renderable options present at the far right corner of the 'outliner' window.  

||Again, Left-click''' View'''.  

||Activate '''Show Restriction Columns''' to unhide the viewable, selectable and renderable options.  

||Left-click the''' plus''' sign to the left of the '''Cube''' in the 'Outliner window'.

||A '''cascade''' list appears.  

||It shows you a list of the properties of the selected '''object'''.  

||We will discuss these in detail in later tutorials.

||Eye makes your object visible or invisible in the '''3D view'''.  

||For example, left click''' eye''' for '''cube'''.  

||The '''cube''' is no longer visible in the '3D view'.  

||Again, left click '''eye''' for cube.  

||Now, the cube can be seen in the 3D-view.  

||'''Arrow''' makes your '''object''' selectable or unselectable in the 3D-view.  

||For example, left-click '''arrow''' for cube.  

||Right click the '''cube''' in the 3D-view. The cube cannot be selected.  

||Again, left-click '''arrow''' for cube in the 'Outliner window'.  

||Right click the''' cube''' in 3D-view.  

||'''Camera''' makes your object renderable or non-renderable.  

||Left click''' Camera''' for cube.  

||Press '''f12''' on your keyboard to render the scene.  

||The '''cube''' is not visible in the render.  

||Press '''Esc''' on your keyboard to go back to 3D-view.

||Again, left click''' Camera''' for cube in the 'Outliner window'.  

||Press '''f12''' to render the scene.  

||Press''' Esc''' to go back to 3D-view  

||Left-click the''' 'Search' bar''' in the 'Outliner window'.  

||If your scene has multiple objects then this search tool helps to filter out objects of similar groups or a particular object in the scene.  

||'''Scene''' at the top left corner of the 'Outliner window', lists all the objects in your 'Blender scene' and their associated elements.  

||Left click '''All Scenes'''.  

||This drop-down list is the '''display menu'''.  

||It contains the display options for the '''Outliner panel'''.  

||Left click '''Current Scene'''.  

||You can see all objects present in the current scene listed in the 'Outliner window'.  

||Left click '''Current Scene''' to open the display menu.

||Left click '''Visible Layers'''.  

||All objects present in the active layer or layers are listed in the 'Outliner window'.  

||We will learn about '''Layers''' in detail in later tutorials.

||Left click '''Visible Layers''' to open the display menu.  

||Left click '''Selected'''.  

||The '''Outliner''' lists only that object which is selected in the 3D-view.  

||Left click '''Selected''' to open the display menu.  

||Left click ''' Active''' .  

||The Outliner lists only that object which was most recently selected in the 3D-view.  

||Left click '''Active''' to open the '''display menu'''.  

||Left click '''Same Types'''.  

||As the name suggests, the '''Same Type'''  option lists all the objects that fall under the same category in the 'Outliner window'.  

||For example, the '''cube''' is selected by default in the 3D-view.  

||So the Outliner lists all the '''mesh objects''' in the scene.  

||In this case, the cube is the only '''mesh object''' in the scene.  

||We will learn about '''mesh objects''', in detail, in more advanced tutorials about '''Animation''' in Blender.  

||Left click''' Same Types''' to open the '''display menu'''.  

||'''Groups''' lists all the grouped objects in the scene.  

||There are few other options here which we will cover in the later tutorials.  

||So, this is the breakdown of the '''outliner window'''.  

||While working with a large scene having multiple objects, the Outliner window becomes a very useful tool in keeping track of each object in the scene.  

||Now, create a new file, list selected in the Outliner and make the cube un renderable.
