Dialogs

Default and preference settings, object specification, display settings, and many other functions are accessed through dialog boxes.

Many dialogs have a preview that shows how the changes affect the object. This preview updates when you click in a different field or press the Tab key on your keyboard.

Specification Dialogs

Each object in Chief Architect has a unique specification dialog where you can enter size, style and other information specific to the selected object. To access it, select the object and click the Open Object edit button.You can also double-click many objects with the Select Objects tool active.

You can open the specification dialog for multiple items if they are of the same type, such as base cabinets. If you select multiple objects of different types, the Open Object edit button is usually not available. The button may display if the objects have data in common, but you can only edit the common data.
