2. Select entities to collect.
   For components, parts, and sets (element sets only), the method is evaluated on the entity's associated elements.
3. Optional: On the guide bar, click to select a Split option.
   For elements, you can create designpoints based on the element’s property or component.

   For all other entity types, you can create either a single designpoint with the collection of selected entities or create a designpoint per entity.

4. Optional: Select a destination DesignPointSet to hold newly created designpoints.
   If no set is selected, a new one is created with config Generic.

   If you enter this menu from the Certification Browser context menu using Auto DDP, the selector is pre-populated with the selected designpointset.

5. Specify a structuralproperty entity to assign.
6. On the guide bar, click one of the following:
   • - Save changes and stay in the tool.
