  1. Select an object from the tree view or directly from the 3D view.

    Tip: About multi-selection:
    • Use Ctrl to select multiple objects (in the tree and/or in the 3D view). This lets you apply changes to the whole selection at once.
    • Only properties common to all objects are displayed and editable. Therefore, an homogeneous selection (such as different datasets, or several groups in the tree view) is recommended.

  2. From the standard section of the action bar, click Properties .
  3. Click the arrow next to the desired category to expand it.

    The table below provides an exhaustive list of all categories available but the information displayed varies according to the currently selected object.

    Option Description
    Dataset Type and name of the selected object.
    Tip: To quickly change the dataset name, double-click the dataset in the tree to make it editable, then type the new name and press Enter.
    Move to selection Lets you move the camera to the selected object.
    Remove Deletes the object from the map.
    Clone item Clones the item selected in the 3D view to create a simple dataset.

    The cloned item is placed under the Created Items node in the tree.

    Select parent dataset Highlights the parent dataset of the selected item in the 3D view.

    The Properties panel is refreshed to display the parent dataset's properties.

    Open ENOVIA Properties Widget Opens the ENOVIA - Collaborative Lifecycle widget which displays general information also available in the PLM properties area.

    Clicking lets you switch to edit mode and change the title and description of the selected dataset.

    Representation attributes Attributes, if any, assigned to the selected object along with their corresponding values (selectable, visible, exclusive, and so on).

    These attributes are data issued from prepared datasets or datasets in preview (datasources).

    Internal properties Displays information related to the datamodel of the City experience. For instance, the number of elements in a group, or the parent dataset of the selected object.
    GIS attributes Displays a list of attributes in the sense of GIS tools:
    • For prepared datasets, the list of exposed attributes (untyped) is displayed.
    • For datasets in preview, the list of common GIS attributes of all geoitems is displayed.
    GIS properties Displays information related to the type of features (geometries).

    For prepared datasets and datasets in preview, the feature count and the feature count by type is also displayed.

    PLM properties (access rights) Displays general information (such as responsible, collaborative space, revision) on the selected object.

    This information depends on the ENOVIA attributes of the dataset (prepared or in preview).

    If the Dissociate access rights option has been selected at dataset creation, information related to the additional datasource document is displayed. Otherwise, the panel shows information about the original datasource document.

  4. In the Representation attributes area, make the necessary modifications.
    Your changes are instantly applied in the 3D and in the tree view.

    Opacity 1. Default value for the Opacity attribute.

    Opacity 2. Modified value for the Opacity attribute.

  5. Click Properties to close the panel.
