| Constraints | |
| Highest Associated Level |
Specifies the highest associated level of the selected analytical member or panel. You can choose a different value for this parameter only while creating an analytical member using the Top Point Definition command. |
| Lowest Associated Level |
Specifies the lowest associated level of the selected analytical member or panel. You can choose a different value for this parameter only while creating an analytical member using the Top Point Definition command. |
| Materials and Finishes | |
| Structural Material | Specifies a material for the element which may impact structural analysis. It can also control the hidden view display of structural elements. Concrete or Precast will display as hidden. Steel or Wood will be visible when another element is in front of it. Unassigned will not display if hidden by another element.

| Physical Material Asset | Specifies the physical asset of the material if one is defined for the selected material. |
| Structural | |
| Structural Role | Specifies the structural role of the element, selected from the drop-down list. |
| Thickness | Specifies the thickness value of the selected element. |
| Analyze As | Specifies element specific conditions used by external applications to determine appropriate analysis. Depending on the element, selection options include Hanger, Gravity, or Lateral analysis. |
| Has Association | Specifies whether the element has a counter part in the project or not.
A counterpart is an element belonging to an associated representation (physical or analytical) than the selected element. |
