SOLIDWORKS 2018 Treehouse Visual Enhancements

SOLIDWORKS 2018 has added a number of improvements to the visual aspect of the Treehouse application (Start > SOLIDWORKS Tools 2018 > SOLIDWORKS Treehouse 2018).  When you have an assembly opened in Treehouse, this is a great visual tool of the assembly structure.
