Property Types
When an object is selected, a property menu will appear to
the right of the screen with many adjustable options. Below is a list showing
the basic types of properties that you will encounter in Realtime Landscaping Pro.
Type |
Example |
Description |
Material, model, or style |

|
The material, model, or style properties are used
to determine the appearance of an object. To change the material, model,
or style, just click on the small image that displays the current
property.
Some materials and models have additional advanced
options that can be edited by clicking the small button that is shown to
the right of the property picture. |
Numeric |

|
A numeric property is typically composed of a
slider and a text box. To change the property you can either move the
slider or manually type a value in the text box.
For measurements of distance, such as the Wall
height slider in the example to the left, feet, inches, or meters can be
entered manually. For example, any of the following values would be
interpreted as 18 inches:
1’-6”
1.5’
1.5
18”
The default unit of measurement is the foot when
using English units, and the meter when using Metric. For example, when
using Metric, entering “1.5” will indicate a meter and a half.
Sometimes the range of the slider is more limited
than the allowed values, in which case a number can be manually entered.
For example, if you drag a plant Elevation slider all the way to the left,
it will stop at 0 feet. However, a negative elevation can be manually
entered if needed. |
Color |

|
A Color property is composed of a single color
swatch that can be clicked to change the color. In the example to the
left, the Trim color for a house is determined by the color
property. |
Toggle |

|
A Toggle property consists of a button that can be
turned on or off. In the example shown to the left, clicking the button
will enable point editing mode. To toggle the button off, simply click it
again. A blue color indicates that the button is turned off, while a
yellow color indicates that the button is turned on. |
Checkbox |

|
A Checkbox property is composed of a single box
that can be checked or unchecked. In the example shown to the left, corner
trim will be added if the box is checked, and removed if the box is not
checked. |
Listbox |

|
A Listbox property consists of a drop-down menu
that lists a number of selectable items. In the example shown to the left,
the listbox shows several available font styles. |
Info |

|
An Info property box displays information and is
not interactive. |
Advanced Options |

|
An Advanced Options property includes a small
button with a downward-facing arrow that can be clicked to view multiple
options. In the example shown to the left, the Advanced Options property
allows you to save or load shapes. |
Curve Type |

|
A Curve Type property is a very specific property
type that is only shown when an Edit Points button is
toggled on. There are four different curve types that can be selected to
define the shape of your object; see Editing
Points for more information. |
