Box Properties
The properties used to modify a box are located to the
right of the screen when your box is selected. Only some of these properties can
be adjusted right before adding the box to your landscape, but all of the
properties can be adjusted after it has been added. Below is a description of
each available property in the order that they appear in the software.
