You can add custom and configuration-specific properties to a Treehouse
node. This functionality is identical to the functionality available in the SOLIDWORKS
software.
Custom Properties
To create custom properties:
- In Treehouse, right-click a node and click Properties
.
- In the dialog box, click the Custom
tab.
If you select more than one node, you see Multiple Values as the value in the
Value / Text Expression and
Evaluated Value columns when
there is more than one value for these fields.
- For new nodes or for nodes that you created by using Saved as New Document, enter values for
File Name and File Location.
You cannot
change File Name and File Location for existing nodes.
- Populate the following columns:
Property
Name |
Enter or select a value. |
Type |
Select a value. |
Value / Text
Expression |
Enter or select a value. |
Evaluated
Value |

- Optional: To link the property value for a part to the BOM quantity, select
the property from BOM quantity.
- Optional: To add, delete, or move a property up or down in the list, click
Edit List.
- Optional: To delete a property, select the row to the left of Property Name and click Delete.
- Click OK.
Configuration-Specific Properties
You cannot add configuration-specific properties if you select two or more
nodes.
To create configuration-specific properties:
- In Treehouse, right-click a node and click Properties
.
- In the dialog box, click the Configuration
Specific tab.
If you select more than one node,
the Configuration Specific tab is not available.

File Name and File Location.
