Hi
Im new to item types. I am not able to add element properties to my item type. That i was trying to do was to create an item type that i want to use on some closed mesh objects. I want to add volume and transparancy to the item type. Also i was hoping that the item type will be dynamic, so that any transparancy or volume changes will be reflected in the item type. Can this be done? If yes, how do i do that? So far i am only able to add text, not element properties.
Regards
Helge

It's possible, but the user interface is not easy to navigate. That's why we've developed tools such as AreaAnnotator, which take the hassle out of defining and using Item Types.

okay but I will need to figure this out. Anyone wants to give me a clue? Are there any videos showing this?

Hi Helge,
we are working at improving Item Types and being able to use elements properties directly in their properties is one of the things we are look into. I know it seems like a recurring mantra but we are working very hard to include some Item Types enhancements in the next updates
In the meanwhile you can use text fields to show element properties as text.
Helge,
What do you want to *do* with this Item Type? Report on it? Place as text field?
Can't help much without more details.
Thanks,
Paul
I wanted some of the geometry properties to show up together with the business data in the item type label. The purpose is to export it to a 3d pdf, and I want all of this data to show up in there. Not on the object in the 3d model but in the properties menu in the pdf ( at the bottom under the saved views )
