Edit published attribute values

User Guide > General > Basics > Assets > Editing Assets >

You can interact with a container’s published attributes the same way you would interact with any other node’s attributes. With the container node selected, you can:

NoteBy default, a published attribute is displayed in the Attribute Editor with the same widget it uses in its own Attribute Editor instance (for example, booleans show a checkbox, colors show a slider and color swatch, etc). This also means that if you publish translateX, translateY, and translateZ for an object in your container, the Attribute Editor displays those attributes as a field with three values instead of as three individual sliders. You can still modify each of these values with a virtual slider by holding + and dragging the appropriate field left or right with the mouse. If you prefer to have three sliders display, you can set up a container template with a customized view. See Add a view to a container template.

The Attribute Editor also allows you to modify the container’s attributes such as the type, owner, creation date, associated template, view, and icon. All these options can be found under the Container Attributes heading. You can also add additional information about the container using the Notes field.
