Guide: Working with Popup Properties on Drawing

Popup properties are small windows with object properties that appear when a mouse is hovered over drawing elements.

Depending on the data, drawing elements will automatically have linked objects, or such overlays need to be created from scratch.

This guide describes the most complicated scenario, where a user starts with a simple scanned drawing.

If you start with an empty drawing, first complete the steps described in Guide: Creating Object Overlay on Drawings.
Once done, moving your mouse over Room in Select / View mode will show Popup Properties of the linked object:

 

Popup properties are given HOLD function . If in HOLD mode, window will not close when you navigate mouse from it or open new popup property.


Popup Property window functionality

Copy values to clipboard

This mode is available when properties window is in Hold mode or if Auto Properties mode is off. 
Copy menu options are:

  • Copy cell - copy selected cell value to clipboard. Can also be done with CTRL+C.

  • Copy row - selected row is copied to clipboard.

  • Copy all items. - all visible object properties are pasted to clipboard.


Copied content is formatted in a way that will allows it to be pasted into Excel.

Properties edition

  •  Edit button: shows object's Edit form

  •  Copy Property: selected property on the list is copied

  •  Paste Property: Previously copied property can now be pasted into another object, or objects to change their values

 

To better illustrate Copy / Paste of object properties, lest turn on graphical filter showing space function.

Select object that has desired property, in that case its the floor type, and select Copy function:

Now, if we select another object of the same class, we can paste the property. Object metadata will be changed and the filter will reflect that change immediately. 

 

Copy View

  •  Image View: opens pop window with view of selected Object. It can be copied to clipboard (and used in Text Editors) or downloaded as png file.

     

 

  •  Copy View Link: copies HOPA url to selected Object to your clipboard. See HOPA for more details about HOPA.
