Manipulate Container Properties

Container properties are items and plug-ins which have been applied to a Container. There are a few operations that apply to all Container properties.

This section contains information on the following procedures:

To Replace a Property Applied to a Container

  • Drag the new item or plug-in to the Container.

To Remove a Property from a Container

  • Drag the property from the Container to the trash can, or

  • Drag the property from the Container Editor to the trash can, or

  • Right-click the property on the Container in the Scene Tree, and select Delete <Name of the Property>.

    Note: Every Container must contain transformation properties, so the transformation property cannot be removed.

To Save Properties in the Database

If a scene specific property has been created, and it is likely that the property should be reused in another scene, it is possible to save the property in the database.

  • Drag the property from the Container to the required folder/project in the Server Panel.

To Enable/Disable Properties on a Container

Note: item properties are automatically enabled when added to a Container.

This is a practical tool when multiple items are applied to a Container.

  • Click the switch next to the icon which represents the item in the Container Editor.
