After you have created space objects in the model, you can adjust the properties of the objects. The Space Management task provides you with the flexibility to make changes during the design process. 

All objects in the Space Management task have properties that you can edit. Using Select on the vertical toolbar, you select the object that you want to edit.

An important part of the Select command is the Locate Filter box that appears on the ribbon. The Locate Filter box contains the available, pre-defined filters for the Select command. When you choose a filter in the Locate Filter box, the software allows you to select only the filtered objects in a graphic view or in the Workspace Explorer. For example, if you select Interference Volumes, you can select only interference volumes in a graphic view or in the Workspace Explorer.

The Space Management task includes these filters:

All Volumes

Allows you to select any space object in a graphic view or in the Workspace Explorer.

Area

Limits your selection in a graphic view or in the Workspace Explorer to space objects that are defined as areas.

Control Points

Limits the selection in a graphic view or in the Workspace Explorer to objects that are defined as control points.

Construction Graphics

Limits the selection of items to construction graphics.

Drawing Volume

Limits your selection in a graphic view or in the Workspace Explorer to space objects that are defined as drawing volumes.

Interference Volume

Limits your selection in a graphic view or in the Workspace Explorer to space objects that are defined as interference volumes.

Zone

Limits your selection in a graphic view or in the Workspace Explorer to space objects that are defined as zones.

All

Allows you to select any object, even objects created in another task.

Inside fence

Selects all objects entirely inside the fence.

Inside/Overlapping fence

Selects all objects entirely inside the fence and those objects outside of the fence but touching the fence at some point.

Editing space objects

Selecting a placed space object in your model automatically puts you in editing mode and displays the Edit Volume Ribbon that you can use to perform basic editing functions, such as changing the name or space object type.

After you create a drawing volume, you cannot change its type.

Using the Properties dialog, you can adjust the occurrence properties of volumes not only during initial placement, but also afterwards. The Edit Path ribbons allow you to modify any and all necessary constraints for arcs, turns, or straight segments that are part of an existing path, either at placement or afterward. 

If you modify the status or permission group of a merged space, the change is propagated to the sub-volumes, as shown in the following illustration:

In this example, volume 1 and volume 2 have a status of Working and belong to permission group XYZ. A merged volume 3 is created (arrow A) and then modified to have a status of Approved and assigned to permission group EFG. The Approved status and permission group EFG of volume 3 are propagated back to volumes 1 and 2 (arrow B).

Similarly, if you change the status or permission group of a sub-volume, the change is propagated to other sub-volumes and the parent (merge or bound by space volume).
