The following properties are displayed here:
-
Object category, type or label
-
Length, width, thickness, height, sill, lintel of doors and windows
-
Riser, tread, width of staircases and number of steps
-
Area and volume of the selected structure

Changing properties of multiple object simultaneously
Object properties are editable for multiple objects simultaneously as well. You can select multiple doors, windows, columns, pergolas or other masses together and edit their dimensions in one go.
For example, use the Select tool to select all the 2 shutter sliding windows you want to edit, either with Marquee selection or with Ctrl + Select. Open Object Properties, type in the desired width or height and press Enter. The dimensions of all the selected windows are changed.
