TOG1 - This field can be toggled between RECT / POLR.

TOG3 - This value is user editable and is determined by the feature being measured. The HIT line is varied, based on the number of hits set up by the user. For example, 3 hits = 3 HIT/BASIC lines, 8 hits = 8 HIT/BASIC lines.

... - As many hits as are necessary are entered at the ellipsis.

When you create a plane feature, PC-DMIS shows the outline of the plane from the plane's hits in the Graphic Display window:
