Specification panel in the Draft modifier window

The Specification panel is used to enter data related to the draft modifier specification.

The panel displays a tree list of the draft menu items included in the draft modifier. The specification includes draft modifier groups and their subordinate draft modifier items. Only modifier groups can be top-level root elements; their child elements can only be draft modifier items. The table columns display attributes of draft modifier groups and items.
