The in-place dialog lets you change the part with properties that are easier to use plus, in some situations, graphical tools. To use the dialog, make sure the conditions for its activation are met, right-click on the derived part (either in the Graphics window, or in the object tree), and select Edit Part In Current Scene. This menu item is disabled (grayed out) if the dialog cannot be activated.
When you execute this action, the dialog will appear near the scene. The screenshot below is an example; if you are working with another type of part, the dialog you use will look different from the one in this illustration.
If the active scene already contains the part in a displayer, then the Display group box will not appear.
This dialog is connected to the particular scene that is active when it opens. It disappears when the scene becomes inactive (for example, is obscured by another display), and reappears when the scene becomes active again.
Click the Input Parts button to select the input part(s) that you want to be included in the derived part. The other features in the dialog you are using depend on the type of derived part.
The Apply button implements the settings that you entered in the rest of the derived part dialog. When you finish editing, click Apply to put your changes into effect, then click Close. Alternatively, just click Close to cancel the editing process and discard all your changes.
The part you are editing will be modified each time you click Apply. Also, if you have the Display group box set for a new displayer, each extra click of the Apply button will produce an additional displayer.
