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.
