Region Properties

For any properties not shown below, see Setting Object Properties.

Options
Height	Topology height, either positive for a mound or negative for a depression.
Height taper	How steep the transition is from the top of the mound or bottom of the depression to the surrounding terrain. Smaller values will produce more gradual mounds and depressions, while larger values will produce sharper mounds and depressions. Use 100 for a vertical edge.
Edge style	How sharp or smooth the transition is between the edge of the region and the underlying surface. In Architect, this only affects the Perspective view. The transition is always sharp in the Plan view.
Edit points	Enable or disable point editing mode, which will allow you to modify the shape. See Editing Points for details.
Shape options	Save the current shape or load a new one. For more details, see Saving and Loading Shapes.

Border
Add border	Add a customizable border around the perimeter.
Custom appearance in each view (Architect)	Use different settings for the Plan and Perspective views.
Inset	Distance from the edge of the region to the edge of the border.
