These settings primarily control when an object’s HUD elements will be displayed:
 Object Active: when the object is active.
 Same Active: when any object of the same type is selected. For example,
a light’s HUD elements will be displayed when you activate any light in the
scene. This allows you to adjust the parameters of multiple objects — such as

 Parent Active: if any object higher up in the same hierarchy chain is active.
 Chain Active: if any object in the hierarchy chain is active.
