Description
This command causes the category properties dialog to be displayed.
Using the dialog, you can change the visibility, triangulability and colour of LAS categories. You can also change the name of the user LAS categories (32 to 255).
Additionally, you can both import and export the category settings, so that you can use the same settings in different projects.
