Culture Properties: Change Layer Properties

Use the Change Layer Properties dialog to edit the various properties of the selected culture layers. This can be accessed from the Edit menu, by double clicking on a layer in the main properties dialog, or from the right mouse button menu on the properties grid.


Populate:When you click this button, it will set the properties based on the selected culture layers. If there is more than one value for any property (for instance if you select a contour layer, you may have different line thicknesses), you will get a warning that there is more than one value for this layer or layers. When this happens, it will set the properties based on the most frequent occurrence in the layer or layers.
