Show only frequently used properties in the property pane

You can now control separately for each object type which properties are shown in the property pane.

Thus, you can create your favorite sets of properties for every object type, and make the property pane less cluttered by hiding the properties that are not needed frequently.

Customize the property pane layout using the Property pane editor, and mark each property as frequently or infrequently used. When using the property pane, you can select between showing only the frequently used properties or all the properties of one object type.

After you have marked the properties as frequently or infrequently used in the Property pane editor, the Show fewer properties or the Show all properties button is activated at the bottom of the property pane. Use the buttons to switch between showing the frequently or the infrequently used properties.

  1. To show only frequently used properties in the property pane, customize the property pane layout of the selected object type.

  2. In the model or in the drawing, double-click an object to open the property pane.

    Only the properties that are marked as frequently used are shown. Other properties are hidden.

    If all the properties are marked as frequently used, the Show fewer properties button is not available.

  3. If you want to see all properties, click the Show all properties button.

  4. If you want to switch back to only frequently used properties, click the Show fewer properties button.

    Note:

    If you close Tekla Structures or switch between modeling mode and drawing mode, Tekla Structures shows the frequently used properties in the property pane.

    You have to click the Show all properties button to show all the properties.
