# Selected Item Offset

## Content

The **SelectedItemOffset** property determines how much closer the selected item is to the viewer than the unselected items. The value of this property is relative to the current item size, meaning that a value of 0.5 offsets the item to half of its own size.

Here are a few examples of **SelectedItemOffset** property settings:

| **SelectedItemOffset = 0** |
