# Properties Pane

The Properties pane can be accessed by clicking on the [![Toolbar Properties Icon.png](https://v30.wiki.optitrack.com/images/d/d1/Toolbar_Properties_Icon.png)](https://v30.wiki.optitrack.com/index.php?title=File:Toolbar_Properties_Icon.png) icon on the toolbar.

The Properties pane lists out the settings configured for selected objects. In Motive, each type of asset has a list of associated properties, and you can access and modify them using the Properties pane. These properties determine how the display and tracking of the corresponding items are done in Motive. This page will go over all of the properties, for each type of asset, that can be viewed or configured in Motive.

## Advanced Settings

#### **Advanced Settings**

The Properties pane contains *advanced settings* that are hidden by default. Access these settings by going to the menu on the top-right corner of the pane and clicking *Show Advanced* and all of the settings, including the advanced settings, will be listed under the pane.

The list of advanced settings can also be customized to show only the settings that are needed specifically for your capture application. To do so, go the pane menu and click *Edit Advanced*, and uncheck the settings that you wish to be listed in the pane by default. One all desired settings are unchecked, click *Done Editing* to apply the customized configurations.
