Hello
I can not seem to figure out how to expose the properties of a subcomponent within any given component.
Thanks in advance.

  1. Select the main component or component set.
  2. In the right panel, next to “Properties” click “+” and select “Nested instances”.
  3. Check the instances whose properties you want to show.
  4. Create an instance of the component, and check its exposed properties in the properties panel.

Thank you - I did finally find it, did not know to look in the + next to properties.


This feature doesn’t show up on any component I’ve made so far. In all of the examples they don’t bring this up of what exactly triggers this option to appear or not appear.


Ahh nevermind! Didn’t realized it was a beta feature.
