Property Buckets

There are three areas within the application where property buckets are displayed

  1. Filter Panel
  2. Color Legend
  3. Data Tab

Whenever Property Buckets are displayed, right-clicking on the bucket provides a standard set of actions:

image

Set Selection

Allows you to set the nodes belonging to the Property Bucket as the Selection

Note: if you already have a pre-existing Selection, Set Selection will override your current Selection with the nodes belonging to the newly selected Property Bucket

Add to Selection

This will add the nodes belonging to the selected Property Bucket to the current Selection (rather than overriding them)

Note: If there is no pre-existing Selection, Add to Selection will have the same effect as Set Selection

Remove from Selection

This will remove the nodes belonging to the selected Property Bucket from the current Selection

Set Filter

Allows you to set the nodes within a Property Bucket as the filter for your current slide

Note: If you already have a pre-existing filter, Set Filter will override your current Filter with the nodes belonging to the newly selected Property Bucket

Add to Filter

This will add the nodes belonging to the selected Property Bucket to the current Filter (rather than overriding them)

Note: If there is no pre-existing filter, ‘Add to Filter’ will have the same effect as ‘Set Filter’

Remove from Filter

This will remove the nodes belonging to the selected Property Bucket from the current filter

Painting With Data

It is possible to make mass changes to your data while you interact with it using a method called Painting with Data

Whenever Property Buckets are shown this allows the editing of data by dragging nodes from one bucket to another

In either the Filter Control, the Color Legend or the Data Tab:

  1. Select any bucket in one of the above areas
  2. Drag that bucket onto another in the property list
  3. This opens the Set Property Value window listing the nodes being updated
  4. The property being updated, and the new value will be shown
  5. Clicking apply will update the property value for all selected nodes

  1. The Node summary in the footer will then reflect the number of changed nodes

image

It is also possible to drag nodes that have been selected following the steps in Selecting Nodes from the Node Summary on the Footer Bar onto any of the buckets to update the selected nodes with that bucket value
