Surface Source Data Fields

Surface Source data can be edited on either the Surface Source Grid Window of the Asset Grid or the Surface Source Property Sheet.

To view and edit all surface source data, use the Property Sheet.

The following describes all the data which can be used to define a surface source.

Common Data Fields

Fields that are common to the majority of objects can be found in the Common Fields topic.
