Project Summary
The Project Summary brings together all the elements of the project and
displays them in a single dialog. The summary shows the status of elements in
the project, and allows the properties of elements to be edited. To display the summary
select the Project->Summary menu option, or the Summary
button on the main toolbar.

Nodes in the tree may be edited by selecting the node and then pressing the Edit button. Or alternatively double-click a node to edit it.
Opening the Views nodes gives a list of all the project views. When a view is selected a Thumbnail Image is shown of that view. This is shown in the Thumnail Image group of the dialog.
Expanding a view node gives a list of silhouettes it contains. If a silhouette is selected then this is highlighted in the Thumbnail Image.
Expanding the Groups node gives a list of all the groups contained in the project. Expanding a Group node will give a list of silhouettes in that group.
If a project element is not included in the Build of a model, because it has been disabled
or is redundant- the element will be tagged with a Not Included symbol 
.
This is not an error, it is there to show that this element will not be used when building a model.

Nodes with errors will be highlighted with an error sign
