■ <=. Less Than or Equals; can be used to evaluate numerical property types only.
■ Contains. To qualify for the search, a property must contain the specified value (for example, series of letters
within a string).
■ Wildcard. Enables you to use wildcards in the Value field to allow matching against any character (?) or an
arbitrary sequence of characters (*).
■ Defined. To qualify for the search, a property must have some value defined.
■ Undefined. To qualify for the search, a property must not have any defined value.
Value You can either type in a value freely in this box, or choose a pre-defined value from the drop-down list
which shows all values in the scene available within the category and property you defined earlier. If you used
Wildcard as the condition operator, you can type a value with wildcards. To match one single unspecified
character use the symbol “?” (question mark). To match any number of unspecified characters, use the symbol
* (asterisk). For example, “b??k” will match “brick” and “block”; “b*k” will match “bench kiosk”, “brick”, and
“block”; and “*b*k*” will match “bench kiosk”, “brick” and “block” and also “Coarse bricks” and “block 2”.
This box is not available if you used Defined or Undefined as the condition operator.
