Edging Properties
The properties used to modify an Edging object are located
to the right of the screen when your edging is selected. These properties can
either be adjusted right before adding the edging to your landscape or after it
has been added. Below is a description of each available property in the order
that they appear in the software.

The Custom appearance in
each view option determines whether the edging will appear
differently in the Plan view than in the Perspective view. If this option
is unchecked, the edging will appear the same in both views. |

The Plan tab contains properties that affect
the appearance of the edging in the Plan view. This tab will not be
available unless the Custom appearance in each view option is
checked. |
Perspective |
The Perspective tab contains properties that
affect the appearance of the edging in the Perspective view. This tab will
not be available unless the Custom appearance in
each view option is checked. |

of surface the edging will use. To change the material, click the small
image that displays the current material. |
Material options |
The appearance of the edging can be modified by
clicking the small button that appears to the right of the material

or backward, move the Offset Y slider or enter a value in the text

The Shininess property determines how glossy
the material will appear. To change the appearance of the material, click

the appearance of the material while in the 3D view. |
