Component Properties
The Component Properties dialog edits the selected 3D component(s) — how they combine with the rest of the model, their height, and shaping effects such as fade and tilt.
Options
Combine with other components
How this component is combined with the components beneath it — Add, Subtract, Merge (highest), Lowest or Multiply.
Shape Height
The modeled height of the component's shape.
Base Height
A flat base offset added underneath the shape.
Fade
Fades the component's height across a direction. Tick Fade, click Set, and click in the 3D view to define the fade, then set the fade amount.
Tilt
Tilts the component about a line. Tick Tilt, click Set, and click in the 3D view to define the tilt direction, then set the tilt angle.
Appearance
Sets the colour or material texture the component is rendered with.
Bake
Permanently applies the fade, tilt and height properties into the component.
Tip
Setting a fade or tilt hands control to the 3D view, where you click anchor points to define the direction; the points snap to component anchors.
