The Properties pane displays the properties for the item selected in the Outline pane. You can perform the following actions in this pane:

The type and status of the item is indicated by an icon to the left of the name.

  •  : The material property is described in a single property data (see the Material Definitions topic).

  •  : Some data contained in this material property requires attention (see the Validation and Filtering topics).

  •  : The material property is described in a collection of property data (see the Material Definitions topic).

  •  : Indicates that the collection of property data requires attention (see the Validation and Filtering topics).

Value
