Inspecting the properties of objects

The properties window of the 3D Editor perspective shows properties for the selected objects.

Metadata and properties that cannot be changes:

• Information

  • GUID

  • Object type

• Measurements

  • Height

  • Minimum Z

  • Maximum Z

  • Mean Eaves Z

  • Footprint area

• Application specific data

  • ModelSource

Properties that can be changed by double-clicking the value:

• Properties

  • Color

  • ID

  • Layer

  • Roof only

• Application specific data

  • Quality

  • ModelSource

  • Modified

  • Planar

The Planar attribute is shown in the property view if a planarity check has been executed (Edit or Context menu → Check planarity). Default threshold for the planarity check is 1 cm.

Changing the "Roof only" property will remove information about walls from the building geometry

The Quality value is computed during the building generation process. It is measured in percent and describes the number of points from the overall number of points that fall into a footprint, that form the respective roof form. If, for example, 100 points of the point cloud fall into a certain footprint and 83 of these points describe a a gable roof form, the quality value for this footprint and this and the gable roof form is 83%. Of the 100 points falling into this footprint maybe 92 points describe a hipped-gable roof. The quality value for this footprint and hipped gable roof would be 92%.
