# Options and Settings
FX-PML separates document options from local application settings.
## Options Tab
The **Options** tab is saved with the project file. These values travel with the `.fxpml` project.

General options:
- **Author**
- **Description**
Weather parameters:
- **Atmospheric Pressure**, psi
- **Ambient Temperature**, degrees F
- **Relative Humidity**, from 0 to 1
- **Solar Radiation Flux**, W/m2
Additional costs:
- **Debris Removal Cost**, percent
- **Other Additional Cost**, percent
- **Inflation per Year**, percent
- **Inflation Years**
Calculation options:
- **Include Drift**
- **Max Drift Distance**, ft
- **Drift Step Size**, ft
- **Damage Mapping**, either `Constant` or `Interpolate`
Smaller drift step sizes can improve search resolution but increase solve time.
## Settings Tab
The **Settings** tab is saved for the local user, not inside the project file.

Autosave:
- **AutoSave**
- **AutoSave Duration**, seconds
Canvas:
- **Grid Spacing**
- **Show IDs**
- **ID Font Size**
- **Snap Angle**
Solver:
- **Log Level**
- **Clear Log On Run**
- **Short Pipe Equil. Model**, either `Omega` or `HDI`
UI configuration:
- **Asset Sorting**, either `Name` or `ID`
## Choosing Damage Mapping
Use **Constant** when each location should use the nearest or banded damage value without interpolation. Use **Interpolate** when intermediate values between damage levels are desired. The best choice depends on the methodology used for the study.
