Shape Properties and Settings
Each shape that is created or imported appears on a separate line in the top section of the Data Properties and Settings panel. You can control the visibility of a shape within a view with the icons available in the top section of the panel, as well as access settings in the lower section to apply effects to selected visuals. A pop-up menu is available for exporting shapes in the .ORSObject file format (see Exporting Objects).

Visual Effects
The Visual effects box contains a list of all the available objects — image data, regions of interest, multi-ROIs, and meshes — to which selected shape effects can be applied. For a selected effect, the Effects properties box displays the properties based on the nature of the effect and includes controls, such as sliders, menus, and color swatches, that you can use to change its properties. You should note that it is possible to apply shape effects to multiple objects and to corresponding data that is either inside or outside of the shape (see Applying Visual Effects to Clips and Shapes). You should also note that multiple effects can be applied simultaneously.
