You can change a number of properties for each feature layer from the Edit Feature Layers window.
| 1. | Select the layer that you want to change properties for in the tree structure. The 3D Scene displays a preview of the feature layer. |

| a. | Rename a feature or layer: |
| i. | Typing the new name in the Current Feature or Current Layer text box. |
| ii. | Click anywhere in the record tree. |
| b. | Specify whether a feature layer is available for use. Either: |
| c. | Select the Layer clipped by clipping planes check box to determine whether XPAC clips a layer when using the clipping tool in a plot. |
| d. | Override the original colour applied to a layer from a third party program: |
| i. | Select the Override entity colours check box. The colour palette button becomes available. |
| ii. | Click the colour palette button. The colour palette displays. |

You cannot assign a colour to an individual entity within a feature layer. However, you can force all entities within the layer to use the same colour by selecting the check box. The colour palette button will become available, letting you choose the colour that you want to use.
