In Dynamic Sections, add width and cross slope for top of components to pop up window when hovering on components.

Support importing .laz files into a terrain

Allow Cross Section Navigator to work in read-only mode

The XS Navigator tool's full functionality is contingent upon users having file read/write access. This requirement seems excessive for reviewers who primarily need read-only access. I suggest revising the tool to accommodate reviewers with read-o...
