Select a door in the drawing.
Notice a new star-shaped grip near the hinge jamb.
Viewing the Property Data Location grip of a door
This data location grip is displayed on an object when it has any property set attached to it that contains
a location property definition. An object with a data location grip can retrieve property data from a space
or AEC polygon under the position of the grip.

Select the Data Location grip, and move it over a space in the drawing.
A curved dashed line will be drawn between the grip and the object.

In the Properties palette, click the Extended Data tab. If your rooms are on the second floor, the resulting
value reads “201A.” If you attach these property sets to the same space and door on the third floor, it reads
“301A.”
