1. When saving the settings of a particular dialog box as a Preference you should be aware that not every field is stored. Some fields, like the Seed Name, are not captured in the preference since it is always a variable that should be defined by the user for the particular activity that is being performed. (pg 244)

2. The Feature Properties dialog box permits the selection of multiple Features within the list box. This allows changes and modification of the feature characteristics to be done simultaneously to many features. The List Points option, however, does not operate on multiple selected features. (pg 245)

3. Importing graphical data to a surface using the File> Import> Surface> From Graphics tab allows draping of that data on the destination surface. The Surface> Design Surface> Drape Surface tool provides the exact same draping capability but has an additional option to allow for an Elevation Adjustment. However, the Drape Surface command cannot import it into a surface. (pg 255)
