Entity Info
The Entity Info panel displays attributes of any currently selected Geometry. These attributes change depending on the type of Geometry selected and can sometimes be edited within the Entity Info panel. The Entity Info panel can be activated via the Window | Default Tray dropdown. Additionally, Entity Info will always be the first option on the right-click contextual menu for any selection set:

The most common selection set while modeling is no selected Geometry. The Entity Info panel will read No Selection when no Geometry is selected:
