❖In the General tab we can set some general things regarding our layer. First is Description which is the name of the layer. Underneath that we can choose to have Display layer ticked on or off; as it says, if ticked on it will display on the map otherwise it will just hold data; normally if your layer didn’t have any geometries or coordinates then you would have this ticked off. Reload will reload the layer for you if this was needed to refresh anything:
❖Display from Scale is where you can choose from what scale to what scale is the data displayed on the map; when you are out of this scale range on your map, the data will not be displayed. Transparency is how transparent the elements in the layer are when they are displayed:
❖Selectable is whether the elements in the layer can be selected in the scene or not. Snappable is whether you can snap to the elements in the scene or not using one of the snap tools. Editable is whether graphics in this layer can be edited or not, if this ticked off then you won’t be able to add, delete or change anything in the layer. Include in Legend is whether to show this layer in the scene legend (if you have the legend turned on). Background Layer is whether you want this set as a background layer or not:
❖Read Only will make the layer settings read only. Data Read Only will make just the data of the layer read only. Publish is whether to publish this layer or not when publishing to a Geoscope file. Publish Readonly will publish the layer settings read only and Publish Data Readonly will publish the data as read only:
