Attribute Spread Sheet
The Attribute Spread Sheet lists multiple attributes on multiple objects in a spreadsheet format, letting you view and edit multiple attribute values simultaneously in a table format, so you can manage the attributes for multiple objects the same time. This is useful for adjusting keyframe values, assigning materials, or modifying object properties.
