Pool Accessory Properties
The properties used to modify a pool accessory are located
to the right of the screen when your accessory is selected. Only some of these
pool accessory properties can be adjusted right before adding the accessory to
your landscape, but all of the properties can be adjusted after it has been
added. Below is a description of each available property in the order that they
appear in the software.
