Properties Pane
The Properties pane is used for exploring the detailed information of a selected item.
It is accessed via . The following item types are relevant for viewing Properties:
- Model
- Tasks
- Features, with all their attributes
- Network links and nodes
The model is object-oriented. Geometry is like any other attribute type and is also listed in the Properties pane. Because of the deep model, and the need for special geometry listings, the Properties pane adjusts itself, depending on what type of attribute you're exploring.
The Properties pane offers several unique functionalities:
| Goal | Procedure |

| See properties of any item | Select the item in the Explorer, or in any graphical window. |

| See detailed geometry (for example, point lists) | Within the geometry section, select the cell in the right column. Cells that are "browseable" (indicated by an arrow on the right after you select them) allow you to further explore the feature's geometry. Select the arrow to view this detailed information in the Properties pane. To return to the main attribute list, select the back button at the top. |
