Edit a Surface by Changing Its Properties

Edit a surface object by controlling its triangle distance and angle values, as well as display properties (such as shading and transparency) in the Properties pane.

Prerequisites:

  • Surface

To edit surface properties:

  1. Do one of the following:
    • Pick the surface in a graphics view, right-click, and select Properties from the context menu.
    • Double-click the surface in the Project Explorer, or right-click it and select Properties from the context menu.

    The Properties pane displays.

  2. Click in an available property box, and make changes as necessary.
  3. Click Close.

Tip: If you want to see a surface with pure colors (e.g., a cut/fill map in the Plan View), set Show shadows to No in the Properties pane for the surface.
