+Inspector
|
|
|
+=========
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The Inspector lets you view and modify the properties of selected objects in
|
|
|
+the :ref:`Level Viewport`. Select one or more objects to display their
|
|
|
+components and editable fields. Changes made in the Inspector are applied
|
|
|
+immediately and reflected in the Level Viewport.

+Expression evaluator
|
|
|
+====================
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Numeric entries in the Inspector can evaluate simple mathematical expressions,
|
|
|
+which is handy for precise adjustments. Type an expression and press
|
|
|
+``Enter`` to evaluate it. The special variable ``x`` represents the current
|
|
|
+value in the field. For example, if a field contains ``2``, entering ``x +
|
|
|
+1`` changes it to ``3``.

|
+Revealing resources
|
|
|
+===================
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Properties that reference resources include a ``Reveal`` shortcut that opens
|
|
|
+the :ref:`Project Browser` and highlights the referenced resource. The reveal
|
|
|
+action attempts to locate the resource even when the resource type is hidden
|
|
|
+or when the file resides in a mapped source directory that is not shown.
