definition that you configure enables you to display an additional
category/property combination in quick properties. You can choose whether
to hide category names in quick properties or not.
NOTE When you move your mouse over an object that doesn't have the requested
property, Autodesk Navisworks searches up the selection tree for a parent object
that contains that information, and displays it instead, thus maximizing the useful
information you get.
