Properties (Model)

Overview

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

  • Object  properties of the selected model.
  • Tool  properties, settings, and various parameters of the Editor itself.
  • Console  a list of all console commands in the editor.

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

Both the name of the property and its value can be found 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 with search queries such as ent, model, or barrel.

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.
