In addition, you can find out how the object interacts with adjacent objects (geometry) and the overall model.

You can find this information in the Details palette, which usually consists of the following areas:

• Preview
  You can move the element displayed in the preview in the same way as in the full view.
• Object structure
  You can show or hide the preview using Image Added Toggle visibility.
• Object properties
  This area lists not only user-specific (Allplan) attributes but also global information on details of the object, such as its name, geometry and unit.
  For example, the element Element section also shows the name of the model from which the object comes. This is particularly useful if the building model consists of a number of superimposed specialist models from various sources and you cannot find the IFC file containing the object in question.
• Attachments
  Attachments are comments, files (for example, screenshots) and hyperlinks (for example, pointing to web sites of manufacturers) (see "Attaching comments and further information to objects").
