Polygon Attributes
The Polygon Attributes dialog is used to set the attributes for feature polygons. Attributes that can be specified for each polygon include:
- Polygon Type
- Land
- Ocean
For models that generate meshes, there are certain polygon attributes that need to be set before the mesh can be created. For more information, see 2D Mesh Polygon Properties.
