Display the thumbnail instead of the icon for a structure element

You can control whether a thumbnail or an icon is displayed for a structure element. By default, the AWB_ShowTypeIcon preference is set to true, showing the icon. To display a thumbnail instead, set this preference to false. If a thumbnail isn't available, the icon is shown.

Use the AWB_ShowTypeIcon preference to display either the thumbnail or the icon that indicates the type of a structure element.

The default value of the preference is true. In this case, the icon that indicates the type of the structure element is displayed everywhere except in the PREVIEW section. The icon is displayed even if the structure element has an attached thumbnail. For example, the item revision icon is displayed next to the Green Seat of Crosskart.

If you want to display the thumbnail for a structure element, set the value of the preference to false. When you do this, the thumbnail is displayed for the structure element if the structure element has a thumbnail attached to it. If the thumbnail is not attached, the icon is displayed. For example, a thumbnail showing a green seat is displayed next to the Green Seat of Crosskart.
