Editing layer display attributes

If there are Entity types with the same attributes in different layers, you may want to change the display attributes on one or more layers to assist in visualizing different aspects of the model. For example, if you had a layer called Top Cover and another called Bottom Cover, and the default color for part surface triangle entities in both layers was the same, you might decide to change the color of the Top Cover triangles.
