Edit basic layer and feature properties from the layer’s property sheet:
- On the side toolbar >
> Project Tree or Layers tab > My Data, right-click the layer you want to edit, and then select Properties. The layer’s property sheet is displayed.
- Edit the layer properties as required. The specific properties displayed depend on the feature layer type:
- Description - Name of layer.
- Text - For point layers represented by a label , the label text.
- Icon - Select whether to represent each point feature with an icon.
- Scale - Determines the dimensions, in meters per pixel, of the label or icon (points). The maximum character height is the Text Size times the Scale value.
- Altitude Method - Sets the altitude method to be used by the layer:
- Select Relative (to Terrain) to place each point of the layer at a specified altitude above the ground, defined by its Altitude Offset (polygons, polylines, points).
- Select Absolute to place each point at a specified altitude (defined by the Altitude Offset) above the terrain database vertical datum base ellipsoid. You can use this feature to create layers with known absolute altitude values that are not dependent on the terrain elevation values (polygons, polylines, points).
- Select Relative to 3DML to place each point of the layer at a specified altitude above the 3DML layer (points).
- Select On Terrain to create the layer on the terrain. This option is not available if "3D Polygon" was selected as the Polygon Type (polygons, polylines).
- Altitude Offset - Specified altitude above the ground to place each point of the layer. This property is only available for polygons and polylines if “Relative” or “Absolute” were selected as the Altitude Method. For a point layer, if Relative to 3DML is selected as the Altitude Method, the Altitude offset if the altitude above the 3DML.
- Tooltip - Text to display when the mouse cursor is placed over the layer in the 3D Window.
- Line Width - Line width in pixels (1-5) (polygons and polylines). Note that when layers published in TerraExplorer Pro are loaded into your project, all meter values are displayed as 1 pixel wide
- Line Color - Line color for each of the layer’s features (polylines and polygons). Click the color bar to open the Color dialog box, or type the color code in RGB format.
- Line Opacity - Drag the slider to adjust the opacity of each of the layer’s features (polylines and polygons).
- Fill Color - Fill color for each of the layer’s features (polygons). Click the color bar to open the Color dialog box, or type the color code in RGB format.
- Fill Opacity - Drag the slider to adjust the opacity of the fill of the layer’s features (polygons).
- Click Close.
