2.3.2.2 Object Properties
The object properties displayed in Properties window specify basic information about the selected object. The Properties window displays several
tabs with detailed information about the currently selected object. The types of tabs displayed in the Properties Viewer depend on the type of object
that has been selected. You can view Properties window from every object node in the Navigation Tree with these steps:
1. Select the object node.

2. Open the Properties window using one of the following steps:
Select View > Open with > Properties,
Right-click and select Properties from the context menu,
Click the Properties button on the toolbar.

Properties of Object Prototype and Object Instance
You can change the properties or attributes of an object using the Properties window. One of the most important thing when working with Properties
window is the difference between properties of an object prototype (children object of a library) and properties of an object instance (children object
of a compound object).
The object prototype stored in a library represents a general form of the object. If you open the Properties window of an object prototype, you can
assign 3D file to your object prototype from the SystemRoot under the Physical tab or you can change its properties, such as material, weight, or
size. An object prototype does not have any location information, as it is independent of your digital factory layout.

2.3.3.4 Duplicating Objects
From the object prototypes in a library, you can create as many object instances to be used in the project by copying or drag and dropping them into
a compound object. These object instances represents a unique copy of an object prototype. If you open the Properties window of an object
instance, you can modify its location information. The attributes of an object instance as well as its 3D representation however, are derived from the
object prototype node and cannot be changed.
