Custom Scope Properties

The Custom Scope Properties are custom properties used to store the matrix data into the documents. The matrix data is assigned to the document similar way as you assign the revision data to the document.

To assign values to the Custom Scope Properties you need to create e.g. a Model Property that has the GetUserScopeData button function with the source scope. See the related topic about the Property Wizard Functions page for the more specific information about how to setup the desired function(s) for the custom property.

You can also export the matrix data stored into the custom scope properties with help of the Export command. Select the desired custom property scopes to be exported in settings of your Export profiles.
