Tool Properties

After you have added drawing or analysis Tools to a view, you can edit or customize the tool properties (e.g., colour, line width, visibility) as follows.

1. Click on the Tool (e.g., arrow, polyline) with the left mouse button.
2. The Tool will be selected, and in the Sidebar you will notice the tool properties are now available to edit.
3. Edit the desired properties (e.g., colour, line thickness) and click the mouse anywhere in the view to save your selections.

The available tool properties will vary depending on the type of tool (e.g., text, polygon, cone, etc.). For example, for text you can edit the colour, font, alignment, background colour. For polygons you can edit the line width, line colour, fill colour and opacity.
