TheObjectPropertiesdialogletsyouinspectan
object’s state, and set a variety of parameters that
relate to how the object behaves in viewports and
renderings.
Although the Object Properties dialog lets you
view the properties of any object, you cannot
necessarily edit all properties. P arameters that
apply to renderable geometry are unavailable for
non-renderable objects. However, parameters
that apply to any object, such as Hide/Unhide,
Freeze/Unfreeze, Trajectory, and so on, remain
available for these non-renderable objects.
Through the Object Properties dialog you can
toggle between settings per object and
By Layer
(page 3–1014)
. Object sett ings affect only the
object or objects selected. When an object is set to
By Layer , it inherits its properties from the layer
settings, which are set in the
Layer Properties
dialog (page 3–711)
.
