Object Properties Pane

The Object Properties Pane is the second pane in the collection of the four Information Panes This particular pane will display the properties of the current object.

The name of the current object is shown at the bottom left corner of this Object Properties Pane.

You can edit all the properties that you see in the object properties pane. The first two are mathematical values.They are for the extrusion height and level of the object.

The special isKindOf explains the kind of object it is – referring the SFA classification system. Right click there to get a context menu.

The special subst property are substitution parameters that allows you to convert an existing object to other forms – For e.g. hip roofs are created using this property.

Some offices may like to describe additional notes for the object. Do that in that given field. If you double click there, you can get a bigger editor.

We have a separate page to understand the "has" property and you also need to be clear about the isKindOf property; for which you need to understand the SFA Taxonomy

To confirm the changes you made for the object properties, you would need to click on the red tick mark at the bottom.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Once you confirm the edit; and if you have multiple objects selected, all those selected objects would get the same properties! To prevent this behaviour, put a check mark on the “Suspend selection” checkbox. In that case, the selected objects remain untouched
