Adding attributes to a list

You can add other attribute names to the Area, Height, Length, and Width lists on the Attributes tab. Once added, the attributes populate with the area, height, length, and width values for features, as appropriate. For example, if you add the ARA_ attribute to the Area list on the Attributes tab, it can populate using the Buildings tool.

Below is a list of the different tools that calculate attribute values and the types of attributes they populate. When you add fields to the lists on the Attributes tab, those attributes can be used in addition to the default values in each list.

Defense Mapping tools and the attributes they calculate:

Tool name	Angle	Area	Height	Length	Width
Buildings	X	X		X	X
Calculate Height			X
Calc Metrics	X			X	X
