{% hint style="info" %}

* The `strokeWidth` property is available when a Color node is connected to the `outline`
* The `zindex` increases automatically, unless there's a connection to it.
* The `instanceIndex` property is available when a Source node is connected as an instancing target. Instancing index value cycles back when the provided value exceeds the available number of instances.&#x20;
