The Object Properties window provides a detailed interface for viewing and editing the properties of selected objects within your slide. You can find it under Window -> Object Properties
The window has 2 key parts to it:
- Transform - The Transform component is always at the top of the properties list. It allows you to modify the object's position, rotation, and scale in the scene. Some or all of these values can be disabled depending on what you have selected.
- Selection-Based Properties - This second section will change depending on what object type you have selected. See below for a breakdown of each object type.
Selection-Based Properties
Models
- Open Hierarchy - Open a separate window that lets you adjust properties within the model hierarchy. Learn about the Hierarchy Window
- File - Replaces the model with a different file. Note: This will replace all instances of this model throughout the document
- Clip Enabled - Toggle a clipping plane on to take a slice through this model. Press the edit to adjust the clipping plane position/rotation
- Locked - Locking an object prevents anyone from manipulating the object . This is recommended to prevent accidental movement of objects.
- Lock Scale - Prevent scaling of the object. Especially important when reviewing objects at 1:1 scale
- Y Only Rotation - Limits rotation to the Y axis. Use for objects that should always be perpendicular to the ground
If an animation is detected in the model file some additional properties will appear for controlling the animation.
- Playback- Play/Pause or Restart the animation clip
- Auto Play - Play the animation as soon as it's loaded
- Loop - Loop the animation.

- Lock Scale - Prevent scaling of the object. Especially important when reviewing objects at 1:1 scale
- Y Only Rotation - Limits rotation to the Y axis. Use for objects that should always be perpendicular to the ground
- Explode Model - Separates all components of the model and moves them out in a radial fashion.
Clip Plane
Either via clicking edit on a model/remote rendered mode or by selecting the clip plan from the Slide Content windows. Lets you configure the properties of the clip plane.
- Enabled - Toggle a clipping plane on to take a slide through this model
- Flip - Flip which side of the clip plane is clipped away
- Locked Axis - This locks the clip plane to match one of the axes of the model.
Image
- File - Replaces the image with a different file. Note: This will replace all instances of this image throughout the document
- Locked - Locking an object prevents anyone from manipulating the object. This is recommended to prevent accidental movement of objects.
- Switch Slide on Click - This configures the Image switch slide when clicked
- Target Slide - The slide to switch to when clicking the image. Pro tip: Name your slides to help keep track of things
- File - Replaces the pdf with a different file. Note: This will replace all instances of this pdf throughout the document
- Page - Select the page of the PDF show.
- Locked - Locking an object prevents anyone from manipulating the object. This is recommended to prevent accidental movement of objects.
Note
- Size Preset - Notes can be made any size using by editing the transform, but we provide multiple preset so you can easily have many notes all the at the same size
- Color - Use colors to help categorise notes
- Text - The text shown on the note
Label
- Locked - Locking an object prevents anyone from manipulating the object. This is recommended to prevent accidental movement of objects.
- Show Kite String - The kite string is the line that connects the label text to the point of interest.
- Text - The text shown on the note
- Text Size - Use different-sized labels to draw attention to different parts of your slides
Video
- File - Replaces the video with a different file. Note: This will replace all instances of this video throughout the document
- Playback- Play/Pause or Restart the video
- Auto Play - Play the video as soon as it's loaded
- Loop - Loop the video.
- Mute - Mute the video.
- Volume - Adjust the volume of the video.
- Locked - Locking an object prevents anyone from manipulating the object. This is recommended to prevent accidental movement of objects.
Slide Start Point
This is a special object type that appears in Environment Mode slides
- Position - When you click edit it will allow you to position the slide start point. Press ok when finished
- Zoom To User Viewpoint - This puts the viewpoint roughly at the position users would see it in a XR headset set.
