Overview

This is where you can access and set up properties, settings, and various parameters of:

Object – properties of the selected object or objects in the scene.
Tool – properties, settings, and various parameters of Exodus SDK itself.
Console – a list of all available console commands in Exodus SDK.

The Find field allows you to perform a quick search by entering – fully or partially – the name of the property or value that you're looking for.

Both the name of the property and its value can be searched for via the Find field.
For example, if you have an entity that has its model set to dynamic\objects\barrels\barrel_001, you can find it by using search terms such as entity, model, or barrel.

Find filter	This is where you type in what you are looking for.
Х button	Cancel typing. It is VERY* easy to forget about clearing the Find field and then spend minutes wondering where all the properties are!* So, be sure to clear it up from any words or letters after locating the property you have been looking for. What you type into this field works as a filter, showing you only a handful of properties, that correspond to filter. Use the \|X\|* button or your Del key on a keyboard to clear the field.*
	Shows only the properties that were changed.
