	Features being imported in most cases have Attributes specifying additional data for those features. Numerical attributes can be imported with the features into the [[Project]], and optionally used later for further calculations. Generally, all Attributes can be imported, unless they are specifically known to "collide" with specific Attribute names in the {{software}}. You can also opt to have them renamed as part of the import process. This can be done by, for any Attribute entry, finding the text field next to it and changing the intended Attribute Name.
