Settings

A small arrow in the right corner of some panels
provides access to settings (Settings) concerning
the Panel's topic.

Contextual Tab

The following is an example of a contextual tab
once a wall is marked. Note that the tab has a weak
light green tinting.

Context Menus

There is also context-sensitive menus or Context Menus when you
right-click a selected object or anywhere in the user interface. These
menus display a list with General functions such as Cancel and
Zoom, but also object specific commands, which change, depending
on which object is selected.

In this example, a wall is selected, and it displayes the given menu.
The listed points in the selected area are of a general nature for
many objects.

Create Similar:
Creates an object that is like the one selected. This avoids you having to locate a specific object
in "Type Selector".

Select All Instances:
Allows the selection of all objects of the same type, making it easy to make general fixes on
object level.
It is possible to choose whether Select All Instances schould include elements from the whole
project or only from the active view.
