Continue down the page to see the Tin Manager Panel options.
To view the Tin Information Panel, Use: Tins => Tin Manager
The Tin Manager Panel can also be found under: Project => Management => Managers => Tin
The Tin Manager displays the project tins and removed tins in a tree structure.
Expanding the Project tins node lists all the tins in the project. The project tin displays information and settings for the tin on the right hand side of the panel.

The Panel will expand or scroll to view all the columns of data available as shown below.
When a Tin node is selected it will display the information for the Tin. The General area which includes Name, Colour and Style can be changed in this panel and have the changes updated automatically.
