## Entity Properties

Entity properties are numbers that change the behaviour of an entity. Properties can be set during creation or after creation.

To modify properties after creation, select the entity you wish to change by clicking on it. After that, either

- press the Period key (.) to change properties (/entset) directly to the value you want them...
- hold the corresponding Number Key to the parameter you wish to change while scrolling with the scroll wheel.
- press the Period key (`.`) to change properties (`/entset`) directly to the value you want them...
- hold the corresponding Number Key to the parameter you wish to change while scrolling with the scroll wheel.

To move an entity, left-click the face corresponding to the axis you wish to move it along and drag it to the new position.
