Using SmartParts

SmartParts are intelligent objects because they know their parameter values - the object properties. Parametric information is controlled by a script, which is attached directly to the object.

You can edit SmartParts using handles (graphic modification) or a dialog box (alphanumeric modification). These two tools can be selected separately on the SmartParts' shortcut menu. However, you can also use handles and the dialog box at the same time. Any changes you make to an object are displayed in real time and can be saved.
