# CLIENTDESIGN

## Overview

The **CLIENTDESIGN** outlines two constants: **HANDLES**, which determines available resizing handles, and **SELECTABLE**, which configures whether an element can be selected in the client design. These properties are set using the `putClientProperty` method.

## Constants Summarized
