Attributes

Attributes tool lets the user select parts of the model and show its attributes from eShare. Attributes tool requires login and internet connection. By default, the spatial mesh is disabled for this tool in order to be able to freely select items, regardless of walls or other obstacles.

Attributes can be used offline after being downloaded during an online session using Load all attributes.
