Not Capturing All of Program's Dialogs

I am trying to record some actions in Fusion 360 (Autodesk CAD program) and OBS is capturing the entire application window; however, it is not seeing or capturing the "Browser Tree" that is part of/within the application window bounds.

I'm guessing the Browser Tree is some sort of overlay type interface that OBS does not recognize or that I have to set up separately somehow.
I am new to working with OBS, so I may not have the Scene/Source set up correctly.

What do you need from me to help with this?

Thanks in advance,

You need to use the display capture source to capture these kind of app. Window capture does only capture the main window of an app, not even menus or popup dialogs, and if an app uses overlay windows to composite its window, these overlays are not captured with window capture.

Thanks for the response.
And what are the basic steps for setting a Display Capture so that it resembles a Window Capture (not entire Desktop area, only capturing the active program, etc.) ?
I didn't see anything in Filters that would help target a specific program.

You either need to use the crop filter or hold down the ALT key and drag the handles of the display capture border in the preview to crop.
