Mouse over the Properties window on the right. Under the Item tab you will see the Item Name is Glazed.
Let’s use this property to define a search condition to find all glazing.
3 Mouse over the Find Items window (at the bottom of the interface) and pin
it open.
4 From the Category drop-down, select Item (this being the name of the tab in the Properties window).
5 From the Property drop-down, select Name (identifying that we wish to look at the name of each item).
6 From the Conditions drop-down, select Contains (we are not only looking for an exact match, in which
case we would have selected =, but also any name containing Glazed).
7 In the Value field, type Glazed, then press Enter (Glazed being the search term we’re looking for).
8 As we aren’t sure whether all item names will be spelled with a capital G, we can search for the term ignoring
case sensitivity. Uncheck the Match Case option to do this.
9 Click Find All to perform the search.
In the scene area, all of the items satisfying this search condition will be selected and highlighted in blue.
The Properties window will show you the number of items currently selected, such as the number of items
having the word Glazed in their name (mouse over the Properties window to view it).
10 Look around the building to check that all glass has been selected with this search condition.
You will notice that the glass in some of the windows has not been selected. Therefore, they have not met
our search condition. We’re going to need to build a more complex find condition to include these windows.
