Most iTool visualizations and operations have attributes or properties that can be modified to change their characteristics. These properties are organized into property sheets for each operation and visualization type. For example, the skin of a surface visualization has a gold color by default. To change this color, modify the surface color property in the surface visualization property sheet.
A property sheet consists of rows and columns. The left-most column identifies the properties, and the other column or columns identify the property values of one or more objects. A single property value can be selected at one time. When a single property value is clicked on, the associated property name appears indented. In the Style Editor and Macro Editor, multiple properties can be selected at a single time as shown in the following figure. Hold down the Ctrl key while left-clicking with the mouse to make nonadjacent selections, or hold down the Shift key to select an adjacent range of properties.
