Entity type

This drop- down list displays the types of entities in the selection. If only one entity is selected, as shown above, then the type of the entity is shown here and that entity's properties are displayed in the grid. If more than one entity is selected, the different types of entities are listed with the total count of each type. Select an entity type from the dropdown list to show the shared properties for entities of that type.

Categories button

Click to arrange the properties by category.

Alphabetic Sort button

Click to arrange the properties in alphabetic order. No category headings will be displayed.

Property grid

The properties of the selected entity or entities are displayed in a two column grid. The left column lists the property names. The right column lists property values which can be edited unless they are displayed in gray, which means they are read-only or calculated values.

To edit a property, click on the property value in the right side column. Depending on the type of property, you can edit the value in an edit box or select it from a dropdown list. Colour properties have a colour selector which is activated by clicking on the property value with either mouse button. Vertex index and Face index properties have a special vertex navigator to select the relevant vertex or face.

In addition, the properties list for some entities have one or more action buttons. Clicking on the action button performs the action as indicated on the button.

Property Description panel

Displays a short description of the currently selected property.
