Library Object Specification Dialog

The Fixture Specification; Furniture Specification; Geometric Shapes Specification; Hardware Specification; and Millwork Specification dialogs all display the same options and are referred to as the Library Object Specification dialogs. The actual name of the dialog is determined by the type of object currently opened for specification.

For example, selecting a library object from the Furniture (Exterior) library category and clicking the Open Object edit button opens the Furniture Specification dialog.

General Tab

Name -

Displays the name of the selected object.

Specification - Define size and height above the floor of the object.

Height - Enter the height for the object.

Width - Enter the width of the object.

Depth - Enter the depth of the object.

Saving a symbol that has been resized in both the Fixture Specification dialog and the Symbol Specification dialog to the library may result in inconsistent symbol properties. Symbols should be resized in one or the other, not both.

Floor to Bottom - Enter the distance from the floor to the bottom of the object. A value of zero makes the object rest on the floor.

Follow Terrain - Check this box if you want the object to follow the surface of the terrain when it is placed outside a building.

Reset - Click to reset to the original, unmodified size.

A preview of the library object displays here and updates with changes.

Show Color - Check this box to display the preview of the object in full color.

Options Tab

Reverse Symbol - Select the check box to reverse the library object. This turns a right-hand refrigerator into a left-hand refrigerator, etc.
