Adding a Location Property Definition to a Property Set Definition
Use this procedure to add a location property definition to a property set definition. Location property values are
obtained from property data on AEC polygons or spaces in or near an object. When a selected object has a property
set that contains a location property, a Data Location grip is displayed along with its other grips. If the location property
is defined to retrieve property data from a space object, for example, and the property data comes from the space
underneath the grip, then the grip moves when the object is moved. If an MvBlock representing a piece of furniture is
moved from one space to another, it has access to the space’s property data, which might include the occupant of a
room.
A location property definition is a type of automatic property, because the value it displays is determined automatically,
based on its definition, and cannot be edited directly. To create a location property definition, you select a property
definition contained in a property set definition that can be applied to AEC polygons or space objects.
