The attribute windows can be adjusted using the Compact, Capped and Expanded options. The following images show how each mode affects the selected attribute view of 500 devices.

Capped

Limits the view of all device types and quantity selected to the total height of the attributes window.Expanded
Every device selected will be shown, if the quantity selected is greater than the size of the attributes window a scroll bar will appear on the right hand side.

While still holding [CMD] move the mouse cursor over the top, middle or bottom control circle. It will change into a double headed arrow for the top and bottom control circles and a four directional arrow for the middle control circle. Adjusting the top or bottom control circles will rotate the fan around the centre circle. The Centre circle can be adjusted up/down & left/right.
