Property Grid Customizations Manager

The Property Grid Customizations Manager allows you to create a customized property grid that only shows the properties that the user wants to see instead of the many properties that are available for any element. Customizations allow you to turn off the visibility of properties in the Properties Editor Grid.

To set up a customization for a type of element, select View > Property Grid Customization. Once in the Property Grid Customizations dialog, indicate if the customization is for this model, to be shared, or is one of the predefined customizations.

Give the customization a name that will appear in the drop down menu for customizations. (<Show All> is the default.) Uncheck the properties or groups of properties that you do not want to display in the property grid

Customizations can be created for a single hydraulic model or shared across hydraulic models. There are also a number of predefined profiles.
