There are common attributes for all objects and others are for particular objects.

Property	Object	Value
Name	All	You can specify any name.
Plane Type	Plane	Floor: Horizontal (default) Wall: Vertical
Type	All	Sets the object type. Layout: Layout object (default) Part: Part object Mounted Device: Mounted device When Part or Mounted Device is selected, the [Part/Mounting Device Settings] dialog box appears. See details below. Part/Mounted Device Settings
Offset Position	All	You can view/set the position of an object as an offset from its parent object. If the parent object does not exist, it will display/set the same as the Position property.
Offset Rotation	All	You can view/set the object’s placement angle as an offset from the parent object. If the parent object does not exist, it will display/set the same as the Rotation property.
Position	All	Specifies a center point in simulator World coordinates. Layout Cylinder: Bottom surface center
Half size	Box, Plane	Box is specified by length from the center. Specified by X, Y, Z. The length is double this length. Plane is specified by height (length of floor, height of wall) and width (width of floor and wall). The length, height, and width are double the specified size.
Radius	Sphere, Cylinder	Sphere radius, cylinder radius
Height	Cylinder	Cylinder height
Rotation	All	Object angle (Z-axis centering)
Filename	CAD	CAD data file name. It cannot be changed.
Save as XVL…	CAD	The loaded hand object can be saved in the XVL format. Click [...] and specify the destination. When XVL-format hand data is loaded, this item is grayed out and cannot be used.
Rendering Quality	CAD	Specify the rendering quality. Standard: Default Quality-preferred: Fine Speed-preferred: Fast
Unit	CAD	Set the unit of length for the CAD data.
Scale	CAD	Set the scale ratio of the CAD data.
Color	Box, Sphere, Cylinder, Plane	Display color Refer to Change layout object color for the details.

Show Edge	CAD	Displays Edge (edge line) of the CAD data. Display: True (default) Not display: False When loading a CAD file, you can specify whether to show or hide the Edge.
Show Label	All	Displays the label: True Not display the label: False (default)
Show Origin	All	Displays the origin coordinate system: True Not displays the origin coordinate system: False (default)
Transparent	CAD	Semi-transparent: True Not semi-transparent: False (default) The front-back relation of the objects may be incorrect depending on the viewing angle. See details below. Simulator Specifications and Restrictions
Transparency	CAD	Specifies the transparency in the range of 1 to 90%. Transparency increases as the setting value becomes larger.

Collision

Property	Object	Value
Check	All	Enables / disables the collision detection. Enable: True (default) Disable: False Collision with the robot flange is not detected even when this property is set "True".
Show result	All	Specify how to display the color configured in Color property when the a collision is detected. Entirely: Whole (default) Collision point: Point Entire object and collision point: WholeAndPoint
Color	All	Specify the color to be used when collision of the arms is detected. Default: 168,0,0

Collision Point

Property	Object	Value
Radius(mm)	All	Specify the radius of collision point displayed when the collision is detected.
Color	All	Specify the color to be used when collision of the arms is detected. Default: 168,0,0
