1. Select a polygon and open the 2D Mesh Polygon Properties dialog.
Use the Select Poylgon tool to select a polygon. Double-click on the selected polygon or use the Feature Objects \| Attributes menu command.

2. Set the Mesh Type, Bathymetry Type, and Material Type for the polygon.
Mesh types include Patch, Paving, and Scalar Paving Density. Bathymetry types include a constant value, interpolate elevation values from a scatter set, or interpolate elevation from an existing mesh. Material types can be assigned to a polygon using materials previously created in Materials Data dialog.

3. Preview and edit the polygon mesh.
Select the Preview Mesh button. Use the preview tools to edit the mesh.
