Edit Space
The
Edit Space dialog also opens when; double
clicked OR
on a selected single space.
Note: All property values can be edited except Actual Area. The Edit Space cannot change the physical size of a space boundary and therefore cannot edit the actual area value of a space.
Actual Area and Perimeter property values can be edited only for spaces that are created with no shape boundary. In that case, simply select the space label to edit the properties in the Edit Space dialog.

Used to manage catalog item properties during

or you can change property values as needed, place an instance in the model,
and optionally save the changes to the catalog.
