have checked the option List Multiple Sized Parts in the Resize/Respec
dialog box, then the display will be as shown below, to allow for more
flexibility in selection.

The asterisks after the value will be replaced by a value once you make
your selection in the To field. For a rectangular object you
will get height and width fields. See HVAC Design documentation.
