## Node Properties

The following settings are available in the **Attribute Manager** (subsequently activated ports will also be made visible in the **Attribute Manager**):

### Reference

Parameter ID: `GV_HAIR_POINT_OBJECT`

Place a corresponding Hair object into this field, whose settings should be set or read out.

### Mode

Parameter ID: `GV_HAIR_POINT_MODE`

Use this setting to define which guides or hairs should be affected:

- Guides: The **normal** guides, not those controlled by dynamics in their rest state.
- Dynamic Guides: The guides controlled by dynamics (internally, these are seen as copies of the guides in their rest state, which are affected by dynamics).
- Hairs: Each individual hair can be read out or controlled.
