  • Its drawing color in Shaper,

  • A comment (initially, the name of the import file), The comment contains, once a surface has been imported, the path to the source file.

  • The layer to which it belongs,

  • The type of surface.

Its name and comment can be modified by clicking in the text field and typing a new value.

To change the Shaper drawing color, you have access to a color chooser:

  2. To validate the selection and close the color chooser, click on the OK button.
