Customizing a Point's Properties

The point's properties tab can be used to customise the point's functionality and appearance to suite the requirements of your project. Most points will share a common set of properties, called general properties which are explained below. Each point will provide a unique set of properties that are specific to that point type which are explained in their relevant tutorials.
